    Valtteri Bottas has claimed his first ever F1 career Pole Position and his Mercedes team-mate, Lewis Hamilton will start on the front row with him. Sebastian Vettel finished third, completing the top three of Qualifying.

    Carlos Sainz had a less-than-perfect end to the day when his Toro Rosso stopped on track at the end of Q1. His stoppage prompted many flags and some drivers missed out on their last flying lap, including Force India's, Sergio Perez. Perez will start from 18th.

    In Q2, Fernando Alonso suffered from a power unit problem, which kept him from finishing the session. The Spaniard will start 15th, while his Belgian team-mate, Vandoorne, will start behind him in 17th.

Chinese GP: Qualifying - Re-Cap & Results

CHINESE GP - QUALIFYING - RE-CAP & RESULTS

    Lewis Hamilton will start the 2017 Chinese Grand Prix from Pole Position while rookie, Giovinazzi will start from the very back after crashing out in Q1. The Italian who is filling for Pascal Wehrlein for the second race in a row, had an off-track moment before spinning and hitting the barriers. He got out of the car without injury, but the car was damaged pretty badly and the team had to make an unscheduled gearbox change, forcing a 5-Place-Grid-Penalty.

    Max Verstappen failed to make it out of Q1 due to an engine software problem. He was originally supposed to start 19th, but after penalties were put into place, he will now start 16th. Team-mate, Daniel Ricciardo will start from 5th.

    Romain Grosjean and Jolyon Palmer were the other two to get penalties and they both received them for failing to slow sufficiently under Yellows and abort their fast laps after Giovinazzi's crash. They were given 5-Place-Grid-Penalties but because they had qualified so far back, they will only move back two spaces. After Giovinazzi's gearbox penalty, they both move back up one space.

HOW IT WORKS:

Q1 = 18 minutes. All cars allowed to go out. At the end of the session, the five slowest are eliminated.

Q2 = 15 minutes. The remaining cars go out. At the end of the session, the five slowest are eliminated.

Q3 = 12 minutes. Final 10 cars go out. The final order at the end of the session is how the grid will line up. Fastest car starts from Pole Position.

Australian GP: Qualifying - Results

We're just hours away from race start, so it's time to go over how the grid lines up for the Australian GP. Manor did not take place in Qualifying and it looks unlikely that they will be racing due to not being ready in time. It's quite unfortunate as they've been working really hard. However, they look forward to prepping for Malaysia in just a few weeks.

During Q2, Valtteri Bottas suffered from a back injury and after Q3, was taken to the medical centre for checks and evaluation. It is unknown if he will be racing today as he has spent the night in a local hospital.

Lewis Hamilton has grabbed the first Pole Position of the year, with Nico Rosberg starting in Second and Massa in Third. Here's the rest of the grid:

1. Lewis Hamilton - Mercedes-Mercedes / Great Britain
2. Nico Rosberg - Mercedes-Mercedes / Germany
3. Felipe Massa - Williams-Mercedes / Brazil
4. Sebastian Vettel - Ferrari-Ferrari / Germany
5. Kimi Raikkonen - Ferrari-Ferrari / Finland

American GP: Qualifying - Re-Cap & Results

Qualifying was a slight bit different this weekend due to the absence of Caterham and Marussia.

So, the rules were changed and instead of the usual 6 cars out in Q1 and Q2, it was just 4 cars out in the respective rounds. In Q3 however, it was the usual 10 battling it out for the final 10 positions, including Pole Position.

For more details on how qualifying works, check out one of our previous qualifying re-caps.

Sebastian Vettel will be starting from pit-lane due to a complete engine change. Kvyat has a 10-Place-Grid-Penalty due to replacing his engine as well and Button has a 5-Place-Grid-Penalty for a gearbox change.
