HIGHLIGHTS: Watch the action from Qualifying in China as Antonelli becomes youngest ever polesitter
Kimi Antonelli claimed his maiden pole position in Qualifying for the Chinese Grand Prix.
Kimi Antonelli ended Qualifying on top in China, the Italian becoming the sport’s youngest-ever Grand Prix polesitter.
It was an eventful session for Mercedes, with George Russell experiencing an issue in Q3 that saw him briefly stop on track before getting going again – the delay resulting in him only being able to set one lap.
The Briton ultimately could not beat Antonelli on his sole effort, the youngster’s pole time of 1m 32.064s giving him an advantage of 0.222s from his team mate, while Ferrari’s Lewis Hamilton was their closest challenger in third.
The other Scuderia car of Charles Leclerc was fourth, just 0.013s behind, while the McLarens of Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris followed in fifth and sixth.
