SAO PAULO — Kevin Magnussen shocked Formula One in BrazilianIt was the first pole after 142 races for the Danish driver, who celebrated by making faces at the cameras before the third qualifying session was over. Then he jumped on his car and punched the air in the drizzle. He gave his Haas team boss Guenther Steiner an emotional hug.Asked whether he expected to earn pole, he replied: “Not even close. It is incredible.
On team radio, Magnussen was even more excited: “I never felt like this in my life," he said. Minutes before, when he was told he was in first position, he replied: “You're kidding.” Meanwhile, Haas teammate Mick Schumacher, who is still seeking a seat for the next season, finished not surprisingly in 20th and last place.
Steiner said on Thursday he has yet to decide whether Schumacher will race for the team next year, adding he hopes a decision will be made next week. Schumacher has earned only 12 points this season. Magnussen has a paltry 24.
