Max Verstappen doesn't have a secret for driving in the rain, but it's something he's prepared himself for since he was young. The Formula One leader weathered the storm Saturday and drove his Red Bull into the pole position in qualifying at the Canadian Grand Prix.

The 25-year-old posted a lap of one minute 25.858 seconds on a wet track at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve to secure his spot at the front of the grid in Sunday's race. "When I was a little kid I would have never imagined being on that list. So for me, it's definitely an amazing achievement," said Verstappen earlier this week.
All three drivers are in a great position to secure points with several top cars starting from further back in the grid. The session began without rain after showers throughout the day Saturday. But the precipitation returned and got heavier and heavier over the final 30 minutes.
