TELEMETRY REVEALS HOW MAX VERSTAPPEN BEAT LANDO NORRIS FOR CRUCIAL POLE
Despite McLaren's expected pace, Verstappen nailed pole by two-tenths. Analytical breakdown of how Red Bull's qualifying setup and tire strategy proved superior in the Abu Dhabi title fight.
Max Verstappen grabbed his eighth pole position of the season at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. This sets the stage for a big title fight in the final race of 2025.
Let's look at how Verstappen beat McLaren's Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri, using telemetry data.
Abu Dhabi is usually a track that fits McLaren better for one-lap speed, and that seemed true in the practice sessions.
Verstappen showed he could do it all without any help from Tsunoda, who gave him a slipstream on the main straight.
Verstappen's gap over Norris was a bit over two tenths of a second. That's pretty big, because the grid was so tight.
So, where was Max faster?
Telemetry data shows the fight for pole position was close in the first sector.
Both drivers braked well and handled the fast turns.
Max had a slight advantage after the first section, but it wasn't a game-changer.
The real difference showed up in T5.
Norris held a better line and carried more speed, but Max had more grip and used a wider path. He also accelerated better.
Verstappen's lower-drag rear wing helped him get a higher top speed on the straight between T5 and T6. He gained about a tenth on Norris.
Verstappen braked later into T6 and picked up another tenth through the T6–T7 chicane.
Norris had been strongest in the third sector during practice.
He is good at controlling his car through slow turns, but he couldn't take advantage when it counted.
He was faster through T9 and closed the gap there, but Max was faster through the hotel section.
Norris's final-sector time was better, but only by 0.029 seconds. That wasn't enough.
On the bright side, he still finished ahead of his teammate Piastri.
The data looks almost the same when comparing Piastri's and Verstappen's best laps.
Piastri matched Max in the first sector, but Verstappen was stronger on the first DRS straight and faster through the T6–T7 chicane.
Like with Norris, Piastri gained a bit of time in the final sector, but not enough.
Norris was slightly better at the first corner and kept that lead through the lap.
Could the McLaren drivers have been better?
The data says all three drivers put in their best laps when it mattered most.
Their ideal qualifying laps matched their real ones, meaning they got the most out of their cars and the track.
Red Bull had a better car setup for qualifying.
Their choice of a lower-downforce package was better, and Verstappen built his lead in the second sector.
He started Q3 on fresh softs, while both McLaren drivers used worn sets.
Verstappen's first lap was enough for pole, which keeps his title hopes alive.
But none of this matters unless he wins his fifth championship on Sunday.
The race will be exciting.
Norris was faster in all three practice runs, shifting expectations.
But if there's one thing we've learned this season, it's that you can't count out Max.
On Saturday, he showed why, beating both papaya cars.
He even did it twice in Q3, since his first try was good enough for pole.
KIM KARDASHIAN AND LEWIS HAMILTON SPOTTED ON ROMANTIC EUROPEAN TOUR TOGETHER
Kim Kardashian and F1 star Lewis Hamilton are turning heads across Europe as insiders reveal Kim's "Russell Wilson" nickname.
Kim Kardashian and Lewis Hamilton are the latest celebrity duo making waves, and apparently, Kim’s already got a cheeky nickname for him. The two have been spotted out together in the Cotswolds, London, and Paris, just enjoying themselves and turning a few heads in the process.
Word is, Kim’s close friends are spilling a few details about this new romance. One insider claims Lewis isn’t looking to settle down right now, but Kim still has a special name for him—she calls him “her Russell Wilson”. If you know the reference, it’s a nod to NFL star Russell Wilson, who married singer Ciara after her high-profile breakup with rapper Future. Friends say Kim thinks of Lewis as a “sophisticated upgrade” from her ex, Kanye West.
Kim and Kanye—now legally known as Ye—were married from 2014 to 2021 and share four kids. Their co-parenting relationship is famously complicated.
Kim’s reportedly a bit anxious about how Kanye will react to her new thing with Lewis, considering Kanye and Lewis were friends back in the day. One source told the Mail, “They’re both cautious about Kanye’s feelings since he and Lewis go way back. Kim’s living for herself these days, but she doesn’t want to poke the bear. They know this could set Kanye off, so they’re keeping it light and just having fun for now.”
Kim and Lewis first crossed paths years ago at GQ’s 2014 Men of the Year Awards. Back then, they both showed up with their now-exes—Kim was with Ye, and Lewis was with Nicole Scherzinger.
Kanye even had Lewis over for Easter one year. He talked about it: “Lewis Hamilton’s over at my house, and we’re playing some music in my studio. We’re having Easter brunch—my wife’s family, my friends, everyone’s there. And everybody’s like, ‘What is this music?’ and I’m like, ‘It’s Lewis Hamilton’s music.’”
Since splitting from Ye, Kim’s dated Pete Davidson and moved on. Kanye’s remarried, too—this time to Australian architect Bianca Censori.
Those two have been in the headlines a lot, usually for their wild fashion choices. Things got especially wild when Bianca showed up at the Grammy Awards in a see-through gown. She arrived in a black fur coat but ditched it to reveal a sheer dress that left little to the imagination. People at the event were definitely stunned.
FERRARI SF-26 COMPLETES 121 LAPS IN HISTORIC LEWIS HAMILTON-LECLERC BARCELONA DEBUT
Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc completed a "productive" 121-lap debut for the Ferrari SF-26 during 2026 testing in Barcelona.
Ferrari kicked off its on-track work for the 2026 Formula One season with a steady first day at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya. Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc split driving duties in the team’s bold new car, and the whole thing felt like the start of a new chapter.
With the 2026 rules shaking up both the chassis and the power unit, Ferrari didn’t chase lap times. They zeroed in on checking systems, making sure their data lined up, and ironing out any reliability kinks. The weather threw a few curveballs—rain, some dry patches—but even so, they got through their plan and stacked up plenty of laps.
Leclerc seemed upbeat after his first taste of the new machine. He said it felt good to get back behind the wheel and start figuring out the car, even if the focus was just on systems and not raw speed. “We came here to understand how everything works,” he said. “With the weather mixed up, today was all about checks. We finished what we set out to do, and the car did what we expected. It’s a solid start and a decent base.”
Hamilton, now officially in Ferrari red, felt the same. For him, it was a busy day—lots of on-track time, plenty of new things to get used to—but he called it productive. “We got good mileage, learnt a lot, and didn’t hit any big issues. That’s what matters with so many changes coming in. This gives us a strong platform for the next few days.”
Ferrari’s Head of Track Engineering, Matteo Togninalli, stressed how important it was just to get through the day cleanly. “Given the conditions, it went well for us,” he said. Rain or not, they racked up the laps and—most importantly—avoided any real reliability problems. That’s the top priority when you’re shaking down a brand-new car and engine.
Performance talk? Still way too early for that. Right now, Ferrari’s just learning how this new car behaves, gathering data, and building up bit by bit as the days go on—keeping their focus squarely on themselves.
