⚡️ The day HE became the Storm.
Amidst the impending chaos of an apocalyptic storm engulfing the Interlagos circuit, Max Verstappen delivered one of the most visually arresting laps in Formula 1 history.
During qualifying for the 2023 São Paulo Grand Prix, he secured pole position just moments before pitch-black skies and gale-force winds forced a permanent red flag.
This moment stands as a crown jewel of the ground-effect era, a design generation characterized by cars utilizing underfloor air tunnels to produce “suction” and immense cornering speeds.
As the sport officially closes this chapter to introduce lighter cars with active aerodynamics in 2026, the “storm lap” remains the ultimate symbol of the raw grip and dominance typical of this period.
Will the new regulations be able to replicate the menacing spectacle of a ground-effect car pushing through the gathering darkness?
