However, Max Verstappen achieved pole position and revealed he didn’t spend any time behind the simulator.

The Dutch driver is over the moon getting pole position at his home race. What makes things make even more remarkable, that the Red Bull prodigy didn’t put any in the sim work.

Max Verstappen reveals his secret behind stellar qualifying session

As Verstappen set the fastest lap on the timesheet, many would have assumed that he had put in some serious hours behind the simulator. However, that isn’t the case, as he revealed that no time was invested in an exercise done by most F1 drivers.

Being asked by Andrew Benson from BBC about what he did right in the quali session, Max replied, “I didn’t so any simulator sessions before I got here. So I guess that was the key, normally I do quite a bit of simulator work.”

“And I have to say now, I also didn’t do for Spa. And I have to say that out of the box the car was actually quite okay. So I guess that is the secret,” Max concluded.
