Lando Norris took pole for the Chinese Grand Prix's sprint race as the McLaren Formula 1 driver had a deleted 1m57.940s lap reinstated to beat Lewis Hamilton.
Rain emerged at the end of the SQ2 session and continued to pepper the Shanghai circuit during the intermission, necessitating the use of intermediate tyres for the final stage of qualifying to decide pole.
He was six tenths adrift of Zhou's cut-off benchmark and had to abandon his effort to purloin the Chinese driver's SQ3 berth - sending the home crowd into audible raptures. Kevin Magnussen outqualified Haas team-mate Nico Hulkenberg as the two took 12th and 13th on the sprint race grid, as Daniel Ricciardo and free practice leader Lance Stroll also fell short on their single flying laps.
