Great result for Verstappen in qualifying: second on the grid behind Antonelli is as good as pole position given his record this year. www.racefans.net/2026/05/02/a... #F1

Kimi Antonelli might win the F1 world championship, but he’s only seen Italy win one (1) men’s World Cup match in his lifetime
