After the first sprint race of the season, Verstappen completed the double on Saturday with a sprint race victory and a Grand Prix pole position – marking Red Bull’s 100th pole in F1.
Sergio Perez found himself on the all-Red Bull front row ahead of Aston Martin’s Fernando Alonso who bounced back from his retirement from the Chinese GP sprint race after suffering a puncture in a clash with Carlos Sainz.
Lando Norris led the McLaren charge to fourth in qualifying, unable to repeat his pole in Friday’s sprint race, with teammate Oscar Piastri set to line up in fifth.
Next came the two Ferraris, with Charles Leclerc sixth and Sainz seventh, but Aston Martin protested the qualifying results amid Sainz’s red flag dropping in Q2.
It was a qualifying nightmare for Lewis Hamilton, after finishing second in the sprint race, as the Mercedes driver was eliminated in Q1 and will start 18th.
