McLaren driver Oscar Piastri says he is "pumped" to grab his first-ever pole in Formula 1 after finding a burst of pace in the deciding Q3 shootout at the Chinese Grand Prix.
Piastri emerged as the lead McLaren driver over the Shanghai weekend, salvaging second place behind Ferrari's Lewis Hamilton in the Saturday morning's sprint race while team-mate Lando Norris struggled with tyre wear. Norris looked the stronger of the two papaya cars during Q1 and Q2, but in the final top-10 shootout the Australian found the pace to clinch his first grand prix pole.
