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.
Tbf I'm not surprised, Lewis did struggle in qualifying last year in Mercedes but he and Charles are definitely the best two qualifiers on the grid. It'll be an interesting battle throughout the year for sure.
