Hamilton`s pole position at the 2025 Chinese GP highlights a thrilling sprint race alongside Verstappen and Piastri.

Lewis Hamilton has made headlines by securing his first pole position as a Ferrari driver for the sprint race at the 2025 Chinese Grand Prix. This pivotal moment in Hamilton`s career sees him starting alongside Max Verstappen from Red Bull on the front row. The Shanghai International Circuit will host this exciting event, marking the second race of the 2025 F1 season.

Oscar Piastri will start in third place for McLaren, followed by Charles Leclerc in fourth for Ferrari, and George Russell in fifth for Mercedes. Lando Norris, despite some errors during qualifying, managed to clinch sixth place. However, the provisional starting grid remains under scrutiny due to an ongoing investigation into Williams for not providing the necessary on-board footage, which could impact the starting positions of Alex Albon and Carlos Sainz.

Red Bull team principal Christian Horner has expressed confidence in the team`s readiness for a "development race" among the top competitors in the 2025 season. This sprint race format is designed to enhance the competitive spirit of the traditional race weekend, with six sprint races scheduled throughout the year.
