With a time of 1 minute, 33.660 seconds, Max Verstappen was able to clinch the 100th pole position for Red Bull Racing in Formula One during the qualifying for the Chinese Grand Prix.

Fernando Alonso was pushed to the second row of the starting grid as a result of this time, which put him 0.3 seconds ahead of his teammate Sergio Perez and secured a starting grid position for Red Bull 1-2.

Following the early qualifying runs, Fernando Alonso was in the position of holding the second spot; nevertheless, the front row contenders experienced a number of adjustments. 

Even though Carlos Sainz was involved in a collision during the second qualifying round that resulted in a red flag being raised, he made a remarkable comeback and initially finished in second place. 

However, he was eventually passed by his Ferrari colleague Charles Leclerc, and then by other drivers such as Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris. After regaining second place for a little period of time, Alonso was ultimately pushed back down by Perez’s late improvement.

The final ten drivers on the starting grid for the race are Piastri and Leclerc, who are in the third row, Sainz and George Russell, who are in the fourth row, and Nico Hulkenberg and Valtteri Bottas, who are in the tenth and final spot.

A major departure occurred during the first quarter of the season for Lewis Hamilton, who was unable to capitalize on a final opportunity owing to a lockup. Yuki Tsunoda also experienced a similar set of unsatisfactory results.
