Dominant Max Verstappen takes pole for Chinese GP after sprint victory
Sainz is the only driver to win a grand prix apart from Verstappen in 2024 and he survived a huge scare in Q2. The Spaniard ran wide at the final bend and spun across the start-finish straight to lose his nose cone in the barriers. It brought out the red flags, but he was able to limp back to the pits for repairs.
