First of all, great job from both drivers- really shows who's who in F1 with these conditions. For Lando to start the lap so compromised and still snatch pole by 1.2 seconds is crazy good, especially considering that mistake according to Stella cost him somewhere around 3-tenths. All the professionals agree that this lap deserved it today, he really was in a league of his own. And when you think about it he really did this twice in SQ3- the lap where he went to the gravel (might've been pole by an even bigger margin if he had kept it inside there)- and again in the following lap. Superb

RedBull arguably had more downforce too, and tyre warming in these conditions is largely down to the driver actually- don't take my word for it as its been addressed by most of the drivers and TPs or race engineers.

No. What tv showed was the previous lap. In some tracks when you go out, you get both laps deleted ( like austria ) cause you may start the new lap with an advantage (that's determined ont the race director notes) Here in China according to those notes, you only get deleted the one in which you go out, that it was the previous one. That's why the lap is valid.
