They've gone crazy, the entire crowd has gone crazy.
The shock from today's qualifying is no less than when Chen Xiangbei took the first-ever pole for a Chinese driver at the China Station.
The reason is simple: both moments carry era-defining, history-making significance.
One is a breakthrough for drivers from China and even all of Asia.
The other is a badge marking him as one of the world's top drivers!
If you've never taken pole at Monaco, you're not qualified to say you have top-level speed.
If you've never won at Monaco, then even if you've become world champion, there's still a missing, most dazzling diamond on your crown.
"Pole! Pole! Pole!"
Countless spectators sprang to their feet, wildly waving their arms at Chen Xiangbei, shouting the word "pole" in either Chinese or English.
