Red Bull driver Max Verstappen was one of the first to congratulate Mercedes driver George Russell after the latter secured pole position for the F1 Las Vegas Grand Prix. The British driver had looked competitive throughout the weekend given the W15's capability of switching on the tires in the colder conditions in the Sin City.
Despite struggling in the practice sessions, Verstappen once again pulled out an excellent lap to finish P5 in the qualifying session on Friday night ahead of title rival Lando Norris.
In a video floating on social media, Verstappen could be seen congratulating George Russell in the parc ferme in Las Vegas while making his way to the FIA garage.
