Q3 summarized from 4:00 onwards - drivers POV:
Alonso to his team after provisional pole position: "I cannot push any harder than this"
and after hearing that Verstappen got P1: "Don't be disappointed. This is magic."
AmuroRay, no matter your rather low esteem for Verstappen, he is an exceptional F1 driver:
Senna's qualifying at Monaco in 1988 was likely the best F1 qualifying ever of the past decades.

The best pole laps and best race performances in history have come from Senna, Schumacher, and Max. The correlation of their greatness also translates to wet races where it's 1. Sen, 2. Max & 3. Sch. No others really stand out much or can match them for their greatness.
