"Unpredictable, exciting. Just who is going to come out on top? Lewis Hamilton, in six of the last seven seasons, has started the opening race on pole. Max Verstappen, a man who has only led one lap here, never won or qualified on the front row; could he be about to steal Hamilton's crown based on the pace they had?" Croft continued as the camera feed showed the view from the cable cam across the pit lane.
"The Red Bull looks as if it is on rails, especially in the hands of Max Verstappen. He looked so comfortable and so at one with the car, and we will see if that will translate to pole position."
Brundle said just in time as Verstappen's chief mechanic, who had been standing in front of the garage, started moving back, finally letting Verstappen go out of the garage and into the fast lane as he left the pit lane.
