The F1 grid for the 2025 Chinese GP: Piastri dominates the qualifying while Lawson continues his bad streak
McLaren driver Oscar Piastri secured pole position in the Shanghai round of the F1 grid, solidifying the team’s dominance so far this season. After an exciting sprint where Lewis Hamilton achieved his first victory with Ferrari, qualifying set a starting lineup that promises excitement for Sunday’s race.
Piastri takes pole and McLaren continues to lead on the starting grid
Oscar Piastri proved his speed at the Shanghai International Circuit by claiming his first pole position of the season. The Australian not only led the qualifying session but also demonstrated his potential during the evening sprint, challenging Max Verstappen for second place with an elegant move that allowed him to earn valuable points for the constructors’ championship.
Woking-based team maintains its dominance after success at the Australian Grand Prix a few weeks ago, when both McLaren drivers finished in the top positions. With Piastri on the front row and Lando Norris in third on the F1 grid, McLaren has an excellent opportunity to extend its lead in the team competition.
Mercedes’ George Russell will join Piastri on the front row in second position, while Max Verstappen will take fourth. For Red Bull, these have been challenging days, especially for Liam Lawson, who was eliminated in the first stage of qualifying, securing the last spot on the starting grid.
Starting order: Complete lineup for Sunday’s race
Qualifying determined the following starting grid for the race on Sunday:
The grid clearly shows McLaren’s dominance in the top positions, while Ferrari regains competitiveness with Lewis Hamilton in fifth after his sprint victory. Red Bull will need to work on improving their power units during the race.
