Max Verstappen storms to pole at Monza with a record-shattering 1:18.792, setting the fastest lap in F1 history at an average speed of 264.7 km/h.
On September 6, 2025, during Monza’s qualifying session, Verstappen snagged pole position with that blisteringly fast lap of 1:18.792.
This obliterated the previous top speed benchmark, surpassing Lewis Hamilton’s 2020 record of 1:18.887.
Local reports cite Verstappen's average speed on that lap as roughly 164.47 mph (around 264.68 km/h).
This wasn’t just a new lap record for Monza—it’s now the fastest lap ever in the history of Formula 1, at any circuit. Picture hurtling through the “Temple of Speed” (Monza) at over 264 km/h on average—that’s absolutely breathtaking. Plus, it's Verstappen’s 5th pole of the season and 45th of his career, marking a perfect blend of personal and historical dominance.
