SHANGHAI (Reuters) - Triple world champion Max Verstappen took Red Bull's 100th Formula One pole after dominating qualifying for the Chinese Grand Prix on Saturday.

The pole was the Dutch driver's fifth in five races this season and sixth in a row including last year's Abu Dhabi finale.

Mexican team mate Sergio Perez qualified second fastest in a front row lockout for Red Bull, 15 years after the team took their first win at the Shanghai International Circuit.
