SHANGHAI: Lewis Hamilton has astonished the crowd and himself by securing his maiden Sprint pole position for Ferrari in the final moments of qualifying at the Chinese Formula One Grand Prix. Hamilton arrived in China after a disappointing season-opening race last weekend in Australia, where he finished 10th.

He topped the first section of sprint qualifying, before the dominant McLaren of Lando Norris took over in SQ2.
Lewis Hamilton broke the Shanghai lap record to take a stunning pole position for the Chinese Grand Prix sprint race as Ferrari bounced back from a torrid season-opener in style on Friday. Hamilton, who has won a record six Chinese Grands Prix, flew round the resurfaced 5.451km Shanghai International Circuit in 1min 30.849sec in only his second race weekend with Ferrari. Reigning world champion Max Verstappen of Red Bull was second 0.018sec behind and McLaren's Oscar Piastri third. Charles Leclerc was fourth in the second Ferrari, Mercedes' George Russell was fifth, with early championship leader Lando Norris only sixth after he aborted his final flying lap in his McLaren.

With the safety car repeatedly forced into action after a slew of accidents on the wet Albert Park circuit, Norris held on to clock a fifth grand prix win and second in a row after topping the podium at the final race of 2024 in Abu Dhabi.
