Crazy minipole for Lando Norris. Rain showed up in qualifying for the first sprint race of the season, which coincided with the Chinese GP. The track looked icy in Shanghai and the one who performed best was the British driver from McLaren with a 1:57,940
Lewis Hamilton finished more than a second behind, needing a good result and sharing the front line with his compatriot. Fernando Alonso will start in third position, with a few minutes left he was the leader of the session and looked like he could take pole position. Although the difference in the end with Lando was about two seconds.
Max Verstappen He will start in fourth position. This is the first time all season that he will not start a race from the first position. He had a lot of problems with the grip and lingered on most of his attempts. Finally he comes out fourth.
Highlight that Carlos Sainz He managed to make a competitive turn where he would start from fifth place. instead Leclerc He had a spin in SQ3 just starting and was able to complete one turn enough to come out seventh.
