Getting on pole at both races for the same team the same season is even more frequent. 17 times. 1986, 1987, 1988, 1991, 1992, 1993, 1994, 1995, 1996 (Ferrari, MS), 2000 (Ferrari, MS), 2007, 2010, 2011, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2017 (Ferrari, KR/SB). But getting on pole at both races doesn't mean it's the same thing as winning them. That has to be underlined. For instance Michael scored both poles in 2000 but didn't win any of the races. Mika scored all four poles in 1998-1999 but only won two of them.
The only driver/drivers and/or team combo that have scored pole at both races the same season and also won both races that season are the following.
1991: Senna/McLaren. Both poles and both wins.
1994: Schumacher/Benetton. Both poles and both wins.
2007: McLaren-Mercedes (Alonso/Hamilton). Both poles and both win for the team.
2010: Red Bull-Renault (Webber/Vettel). Both poles and both wins for the team.
2013: Mercedes (Rosberg/Hamilton). Both poles and both wins for the team.
2017: Ferrari (Räikkönen/Vettel). Both poles and both wins for the team.
So historically it doesn't bode well for Red Bull if Max or Ricciardo get the pole on saturday. It's hard to win them both from pole the same season. Only Ayrton and Michael have done it.
