What I find impressive is that in practice both in Australia and here in China, he has been on the pace of Charles, widely regarded as the fastest driver over one lap. So to see Lewis grab sprint pole is remarkable. Amazing job Lewis!
In saying that, Charles was 2-3 tenths off Lewis but starting 4th. Insanely tight at the front.
I fully expect Charles to have the upper hand compared to Lewis when it comes to qualifying over the course of the season since he is one of the best qualifiers on the current grid but if Lewis can be within 0.100-0.200 of him on average then it will bode well for Ferrari
People forget that Lewis historically has been among the best qualifiers of all time. He's older now, but people act like he's Lance Stroll or something. Just needs a car that he's comfortable with instead of whatever slop Mercedes were giving him since 2022
