Verstappen flies towards pole position and Alonso and Sainz close the ‘Top 5’

The Mercedes surprise and ‘Checo’ Pérez will start last

MADRID, 1 Abr. (EUROPA PRESS) –

The Dutch driver Max Verstappen (Red Bull) has guaranteed pole position for the Australian Grand Prix race, the third round of the Formula 1 World Cup, in a qualifying session in which the Mercedes gave the surprise to come out ahead of the Spaniards Fernando Alonso (Aston Martin) and Carlos Sainz (Ferrari), fourth and fifth respectively.

The current world champion, current leader of the championship, set a great time of 1:16.732 to take his first pole position at the Albert Park circuit in Melbourne, the 22nd of his career, the same ones that Alonso treasures.
