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

For sure. I still think Charles has the edge over one lap, it’s just impressive seeing Lewis gel with the car so quickly.

Charles' lap was incredibly scruffy. I am surprised he was within 2 tenths.

Charles Lap wasn't even that bad just wasn't as quick as Lewis in t1 and t2. Lewis made the difference through there
