Kevin Magnussen could not hide the disbelief in his face as he reacted to a shock pole position at the Brazilian Grand Prix.
The Dane went quickest overall in the early part of Q3, before the session was briefly red-flagged when George Russell span off the circuit. By the time qualifying resumed, heavy rain had swept across the track and there was no way anyone else was going to be able to improve their times.
So Magnussen and Haas were rewarded with their first-ever pole positions in Formula 1. "I waited a long time yeah, and I still can't believe it," said the stunned racer. "What a phenomenal job the team did to put me out on the pit lane as the first car, to give me the best piece of track. It started to rain so that was the crucial part today, just getting the best part of the track for me. Amazing job by them.
