Lewis Hamilton Gets His First Pole for Ferrari
(MENAFN) On Friday, Lewis Hamilton claims his first-ever pole position for Ferrari, setting a new circuit record in sprint qualifying for the Chinese Grand Prix.
The seven-time world champion narrowly beat Red Bull's Max Verstappen by just 0.018 seconds, posting a time of 1:30.849. McLaren’s Oscar Piastri rounded out the top three at the Shanghai International Circuit, earning a spot on the front row for Saturday’s 19-lap sprint race.
Hamilton, 40, who had a challenging debut with Ferrari in Melbourne, was taken aback by the result. "I'm a bit in shock. I can't believe we got a pole in the sprint," he said. However, he acknowledged the need for further work, adding, "It's not the main race, so we have some work to do for tomorrow."
Ferrari's Charles Leclerc and Mercedes' George Russell finished in fourth and fifth positions, while Lando Norris was unable to complete his final flying lap due to a mistake at the hairpin.
The sprint race, which is roughly one-third the length of a regular grand prix, is scheduled for Saturday at 0300 GMT, with qualifying for the Chinese Grand Prix taking place later in the day. The main race for the 2025 Chinese Grand Prix will be held on Sunday, starting at 0700 GMT at the Shanghai International Circuit.
