Formula One Chinese Grand Prix: Red Bull's Max Verstappen will start Sunday's Formula One Chinese Grand Prix from pole position after dominating qualifying at the Shanghai International Circuit here on Saturday.

Having won Saturday morning's Sprint race by a convincing margin, Verstappen carried on where he had left off, topping every segment and setting a fastest time of 1:33.660, 0.322s faster than teammate Sergio Perez.

But it was a nightmare session for Mercedes' Lewis Hamilton, who had finished an encouraging second in the Sprint. The Briton could only qualify 18th after running wide at the Turn 15 hairpin on his fastest lap, and he radioed his team to apologize for his performance, reports Xinhua.
