Nine of the current drivers once started from pole: How long ago did they do that?

Qualifying is about to start and so for many drivers this is the chance to clinch pole position for the first time in a long time (or even ever). Max Verstappen, with his pole in Abu Dhabi last year, is the driver who has waited the least time for this.

Take a look at the number of days Fernando Alonso has been waiting for his next pole. That's more than eight years ago at the 2012 German Grand Prix at Hockenheim.
