F1 champion Verstappen takes pole position for season-ending Abu Dhabi GP
ABU DHABI: Max Verstappen took pole position for the season-ending Abu Grand Prix on Saturday and will look to finish a crushingly dominant year with a 19th win. Victory on Sunday would take the Red Bull driver onto 54 career wins, past former Red Bull star Sebastian Vettel and into third place all time. “It’s been a very special season and we’ve been enjoying it a lot,” Verstappen said. “Very proud of what we have achieved.” The three-time F1 champion’s 12th pole of the season took him to 32 overall.
