Shanghai (China), March 22 -- McLaren's Oscar Piastri took pole position for the Chinese Grand Prix as George Russell's Mercedes snuck between the Australian and team-mate Lando Norris.
Both Piastri's laps in the final part of qualifying were quick enough for pole and ended up 0.082 seconds quicker than Russell.
Norris aborted his final run after a mistake in the middle for the lap and that gave Russell the chance to edge ahead, the BBC reported.
Red Bull's Max Verstappen took fourth, ahead of Lewis Hamilton, who took his first win for Ferrari from pole in the sprint race earlier on Saturday.
The seven-time champion beat his team-mate Charles Leclerc by 0.094secs.
