Max Verstappen completed a super Shanghai Saturday for him to claim Red Bull's landmark 100th F1 pole position as Lewis Hamilton suffered a shock early exit and qualified 18th for Sunday's Chinese Grand Prix. Hours after Verstappen and Hamilton finished first and second respectively in an entertaining first Sprint race of the season, the pair's days went in opposite directions around the challenging Shanghai International Circuit.
' Fernando Alonso was the driver to challenge the Red Bulls and threatened to split Verstappen and team-mate Sergio Perez on the grid before the latter ultimately pipped the Aston Martin to the second front-row berth by 0.166s on his final lap. With Alonso shuffled back to a still-impressive third, McLaren's Lando Norris - who took pole on Friday for the Sprint in wet conditions - was fourth ahead of team-mate Oscar Piastri.
