Four-time world champion Max Ver-stappen smashed the track record to snatch pole position for Sunday's Japanese Grand Prix ahead of McLaren's Lando Norris, as Yuki Tsunoda qualified a lowly 15th in his Red Bull debut.

Verstappen clocked a blistering lap of 1min 26.983secs in his Red Bull, 0.058secs ahead of early Q1 pace-setter Norris, with another McLaren of Oscar Piastri in third.
Verstappen has struggled with his car this season and the McLarens dominated all three practice sessions at Suzuka.
A Verstappen delighted in his final lap in Sat-urday's qualifying, praising Norris right at the death.
"If you look at how our season started, even during this weekend, it's very unexpected," the Dutchman said of his first pole position of 2025.
