Piastri in pole ahead of Brits Russell and NorrisHamilton clinches first Ferrari sprint race win
Oscar Piastri took pole position for the Chinese Grand Prix with a commanding drive in Shanghai for McLaren, after Lewis Hamilton had taken his first victory for Ferrari in the sprint race on Saturday morning.
Piastri, scoring his first ever Formula One pole, delivered two immense laps to take the top spot, beating the Mercedes of George Russell into second and his McLaren teammate Lando Norris into third. Red Bull’s Max Verstappen was in fourth and Hamilton fifth. Piastri understandably celebrated his maiden pole, having put his McLaren at the very front of a race where dashing off into the clean air could prove vital on Sunday.
