Oscar Piastri sealed his first Formula 1 pole position in Qualifying for the Chinese Grand Prix in Shanghai.
He’ll be joined on the front row by George Russell while his championship-leading McLaren teammate Lando Norris will start third.
Jack Doohan was an early elimination in Qualifying and will start 18th, two places up from Liam Lawson after a dismal Saturday afternoon for the Red Bull pilot.
Update: Liam Lawson will start from pit lane after Red Bull changed the suspension of his car under parc ferme conditions.
The 2025 Formula 1 Chinese Grand Prix begins at 18:00 AEDT.
