168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton took his first pole position in a Ferrari for the sprint race, although it won't count towards hisꦰ overall total because it isn't for a grand prix.
However, it is still an🎐 important marker in his early adaptation to the Ferrari.
H♓is 1.30.🗹849s was a new lap record at the Shanghai International Circuit, where he has previously won six grands prix.
Red Bull's Max🌃 V♈erstappen will start on the front row with Hamilton.
McLaren's Oscar Piastri ro�♑�unded out the top three but Lando Norris was restricted to P6.
Worryingly ♒for Red Bull, Liam Lawson is at the back of the grid.
