Albon was not at all surprised. He knows how good Max is

Need more reactions like these from drivers for every qualifying session Amount of excitement and thrills in brings makes increases the racing atmosphere

Damn, those guys can watch broadcasts on the circuit without a subscribe, I'm so jealous.

Albon knows what he's watching

i like how Nyck is 3 years older but acts like Max is his older brother.

The bias tone in commentary against Max is shameful. Sky sports should be ashamed. " in a super fast car". They never said that when Lewis was winning

Valtteri upstaging Max's insane third sector with his mustache and mullet combo

Schumacher always said that you're faster in Monaco by leaning to the wall. Max proved it. The last sector was just magic. So hard on the edge. A little bit faster and the car is wrecked.

Here in Brazil the commentator was saying after the sector 2 "only a miracle takes this pole alway from Alonso".

Charles, Alonso and Max really set Monaco on fire peak driving

I actually don't think there is a single person on that grid that is willing to push it to the limits like max can....balls of steell

Max owned sector 3 the whole weekend. Alonso knew he could only beat max by driving insanely fast through sector 1 and 2, but still it wasn't enough. Max simply pulled out some Senna like magic in those last 19 secs.

Verstappen’s Sector 3 was next level. Reminded me of his lap at Jeddah in 21 before he put in the wall in the last corner.

Max approaching that Senna level where his lap is the lap everyone wants to see, because they know they're going to see something special

The fact that Albon knew exactly why Max got that pole is amazing. Alonso left just a tiny bit on the table for sector 3 and that’s where it was lost.

Max doesn't need to prove to anyone how fast he is... when he joined Torro rosso in 2015 we all could see it, and even more in 2016. It's not only about the car, he proved it well trough his seasons.

I love Alex. He looks so happy, and it's not surprised by Max, he knows how good he is, and how good is that RB car.

I think Alex has that look of admiration and annoyance like "He's my friend and I love him but seeing him do this week in and week out is starting to piss me off a little 😂😂" kinda like how you're proud of your sibling but it still pisses you off 😂😂

I'm just happy that Albon got back into F1.

That lap from Alonso was a STONKER,... Max's lap was something from the F1 legends class.

If you watch early in Verstappen's lap, he is pushing his race car extremely hard,knowing there is no time left to save, he has to go all out. His Red bull is trying to slide its rear end out in numerous corners. Verstappen's reflexes are so fast in catching it and he is so in tune when it happens, it's just lightning in a bottle. A very impressive lap. Verstappen also used a time saving trick that all the fast drivers found, of rubbing several corner safety barriers with the car. But this trick has a price. Rub the barrier and get a faster lap. Tap the barrier just a tiny bit too hard and crack the suspension and it's lap over. Driver getting comfortable using this trick in the race, may well bring out several red flags so I don't expect to see it done many times in the race.All in all, four excellent laps by four excellent drivers, all in a row.

It's nice to see other drivers simply admiring the talent and not bitching about it. Well, MOST other drivers.

"Oh my Lord, Max!"

Why is Alex so nervous he would make a great commentator

Glad to see Albon has increased the hairdressing budget of late 😂

0:32 the way Albon talks is just like Super GT 😂

Love that nyck is happy max got pole.

Max is unreal.

One of if not the best pole laps of all time

He doesn't fail to amaze what a drive

Max shows everybody how its has to be done !! He is from another planet !! Incredible driver❤🇳🇱

witnessing a legend in his prime

Having reviewed the onboard footage of that last sector Jolyon Palmer concluded that it was mainly down to Max almost touching every barrier through the swimming pool bends. Max was just ahead after them because he took the bigger risks.

Albon adjusting his hat to perfection, to then turn around having it on crooked as hell... gets me every time

I love how all the drivers and the staff in the paddock working with the cars understood how amazing Max pull off that sector 3. Meanwhile haters eating popcorn on the couch commenting: “iTs tHe CaR” lol.

Max always shows who's the boss!

Albon about to clap, then remembering that he is no more in RB team. Priceless reaction 😂

“I call that simply f%*king lovely” Have a great race mate and bring it home 🤙🏻

been a max supporter since he started what a driver

Max was pure magic.

Those words that that lady said, literally spat put my mouth when I saw that! He gained 3 tenths in the final sector alone which is like 5 turns 😂

He is a LEGEND all ready!!

You could see from the drivers laughing face and the mecchanics, Verstappen is from another planet.

and again these British commentator... "in a superfast car"... British always tries to avoid giving credits to max.. where they always gave full credit to hamilton "another master class by lewis". Since Max or Alonso, its "look at how dominant the car is"' another "design miracle from newey" whilst its actually a fun fact that Wache and his team who is the lead designer, not Newey. They constantly repeat Newey and Milton Keynes

Another channel posted a digital comparison of Alonso and Verstappen quali laps side by side, its basically the last 2 or 3 turns where he made it up. Crazy.

That ain't madness, that's Maxness

I think EVERYONE was expecting him to grab pole. Max is the best driver on the grid, with only Fernando Alonso even coming close in talent and skill, and add in his competitive obsession and very quick car...he is simply inevitable most of the time. When yoh watch the playback of qualifying from the F1 main channel, you can tell over the radio that Aston Martin was perparing themselves for disappointment when Nando grabbed pole and they realized that Max still had one last run...but to be .2 down after 2 sectors, I'm guessing the hope rose up unavoidably only to get crushed the moment he crosses the line and lands on pole. Funny thing, Nando could have won the Monaco GP if they hadnt totally fucked him in the pits with their bad decisions. Hed have been ahead of Max on a track that is almost impossible to overtake on with less than half the race left.

so good other drivers in the same class look up to him

See how happy every driver is for max. Where are the drivers who like diva Hamilton. 😂

I’m convinced that in every F1 drivers contract there is a clause that states you must adjust your hat at least 1000 times a day.

All lulu fans and Fat Ted Kravitz remember is ‘alonso had a bad sector 3’.

Max is awesome 👏❤️🇺🇸🦁

Can hear Ted and Skysports crying in the background 😂

Appreciate it because there's something very special happening right now.

Devries his reaction❤

max max max super max

He maxxed out every corner

I love how Bottas, Nick, Lando and Oscar were excited and happy 😂

Wish this included turn 15-16. I want to see the reaction to that!

there will be always discussion on the internet , who is the best. It doesnt really matter what people think, its so hard to tell with different cars teams etc. What matters is how drivers react, and there is no discussion on the grid. Even before max was world champion, they knew that max and still is the best driver of all time.

I was there in the Monaco fanzone when Max crossed the line the atmosphere was fucking awesome!

Vettel: Everyone is a Max Verstappen fan. Even if they say they're not, they are Max Verstappen fans.

The current grid of drivers is phenomenally good, almost everyone on it has a podium, race win or pole position to their name.

it's not madness its Maxness

What a qualification session that was 😮

Love the dutch racing heart of nyck❤❤

Albon is new ricciardo. Truly sarcastic. "Alonso had a bad sector 3". He knows how good max is & only true albon fans will get the joke 😂👏love albon even more.

A super fast car.... When Lewis was winning it was just that Lewis was so good. Is this Crofty?

Il n'y a pas de miracle il y a seulement du talent. Maxgique. 👍

I think there wont be many debates now comparing Perez to Max !!

Alonso 2 and he is 42 years old

I love the drivers faces like: “What am I doing here?”

Si, tiene un coche rápido pero Max está a un nivel increíble, el y Alonso son hoy por hoy los tíos más en forma de la fórmula 1 ke bestias y ke bonito es ver a estos tíos ir al limite❤❤❤

The first racer applauding was Nyck.

Crazy last sector

Cool to see drivers enjoy it. The hate lies with the 'fans'.

Lewis’ reaction: “That’s some dangerous driving man. Check for track limits on Max, and my tires were real bad even though they aren’t”.

This is quality content

the only other time I remember this sort of reaction is with Senna poles. 👏🏼

Aww Nyck 😢💔

Estie-bestie, Max, Yuki, Nando, and the Monegasque of the principality really made the quali for me. That Yuki lap time came from nowhere. Ofc, I also thank Checo for the apple bottom jeans!

max going maximum on the last sector

The fact that he hit the wall multiple times🏆🥇

I love these because it confirms they are all F1 fans at heart

it's like playing gran turismo and using the wall to takes the corners faster 😂

GOAT

I never would have thought to see Senna mode ever again around Monaco.

The audacity to say “In a super fast car” no one said that to Hamilton, they said another masterclass to show you why he is the best. This hate to Verstappen is so cruel from Hamilton fans because Hamilton was in the exact same situation for the past 4 years. It shows you F1 fans don’t care about logic as long as their driver is right and winning.

Madness = Maxness !!!

‘Alonso had a bad sector 3’ no Alex, Max had a massive sector 3 where you can make the difference iff you take a lot of risks like Max did.

Albon gave the look of "I know what you did you cheeky bastard, and i respect it"

Respect!

and Checo's reaction?

#FIA will do well to take note. Such videos breathe life into racing and will only bring in more viewers and make it more popular!!

Albons beautiful "I knew he could do it" smile

Thanks to Alex for explaining.

"and a super fast car" meantime while Hamilton had a faster car in the past they never said that. These British broadcasters are a joke.

Verstappen is the villain nobody asked for but we all needed.

That second corner through the swimming pool area was money.

....and Max orded the wall : MOVE AWAY !.....so did the wall ! 🤣🤣🙏🙏👏👏👏👏
