What a moment for Kimi Antonelli as he became the youngest driver to claim pole position in F1 history.
Antonelli will start from top spot on the grid for the Chinese Grand Prix after beating Mercedes team-mate George Russell by two-tenths of a second.
Russell had his issues and nearly did not take part in the top-10 shoot-out, but he managed to secure a front-row start with a lap at the death.
Antonelli and Russell will be looking in their mirrors closely, however, as the fast-starting Ferraris of Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc line up on the second row.
Look back on all the action as it unfolded in our blog below!
