... closing in really fast. Has more Ferrari poles than Alonso (4) as well, although given the state of the 2010-2014 cars it might be an unfair comparison. Fernando was one our fastest ever drivers and he's eclipsed his numbers of poles in a second-best car in just six months and also is one pole lap away from equalling our latest World Champion. He's incredibly fast and long may it last. It's also noteworthy that Michael in the late 90's never grabbed more than four in one season for us and didn't get to five even in 2006. So to get six in a year we don't have a car to win either title is a tremendous achievement.
Michael's pole streak:
1996: 4 (SMR, MON, FRA, HUN)
1997: 3 (CAN, FRA, HUN)
1998: 3 (ITA, LUX, JPN)
1999: 3 (CAN, MAL, JPN)
2000: 9 (ESP, MON, CAN, FRA, HUN, ITA, USA, JPN, MAL)
2001: 11 (AUS, MAL, BRA, ESP, AUT, CAN, EUR, GBR, HUN, USA, JPN)
2002: 7 (MAL, SMR, ESP, GER, BEL, USA, JPN)
2003: 5 (AUS, SMR, ESP, AUT, ITA)
2004: 8 (AUS, MAL, BHR, ESP, EUR, GER, HUN, JPN)
2005: 1 (HUN)
2006: 4 (BHR, SMR, USA, FRA)
That means he only bettered Leclerc's 2019 total four times in eleven seasons.
He may well also not be done for this season just yet
Mexico, Brazil and Abu Dhabi are clear pole opportunities for him.
