SUZUKA, Japan (Reuters) - Max Verstappen told Red Bull's doubters to 'go suck on an egg' after taking a dominant Japanese Grand Prix pole position a week after the team's record run of 15 wins in a row ended in Singapore.
The runaway Formula One championship leader's lap of one minute 28.877 seconds around Suzuka was 0.581 faster than McLaren's Australian rookie Oscar Piastri, who will line up on a Sunday front row for the first time.
