evin Magnussen celebrated his 100th race for the Haas team by claiming a sensational pole position for the spring race at the Brazilian Grand Prix.
Interlagos hosts the Brazilian Grand Prix this weekend.

Lewis Hamilton and Mercedes head to a circuit the Brit likes very much, so much so he has just been made an honorary citizen of Brazil.
Verstappen won in Mexico a fortnight ago to set the record for the most victories by a driver in a single campaign and Ferrari’s poor showing suggests only the Mercs can take the fight to Red Bull in the final races.
