His fourth successive pole position from the opening four races of the season was the first time this feat had been achieved since Finnish driver Mika Hakkinen in 1999.
The 23-year-old German drove his Red Bull car, dubbed 'Kinky Kylie' with great conviction despite his damaging experience the previous day, to clock an outstanding lap time of one minute and 25.049 seconds.
He clocked his lap on his first run in the top-ten shootout, the third Q3 part of qualifying, and then saved his tyres by not going out again such was his supreme confidence for the 19th pole of his remarkable career.
