Lando Norris topped all three qualifying sessions to claim pole position for the Qatar sprint.
He will be joined on the front row of the grid by Mercedes’ George Russell, who fell just 0.063s shy of beating his fellow Briton.
Oscar Piastri goes from third in the other McLaren, ahead of the Ferrari duo of Carlos Sainz and Charles Leclerc.
Four-time world champion Max Verstappen starts sixth ahead of seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton.
The rest of the top-10 is made up of Alpine’s Pierre Gasly, Haas’ Nico Hulkenberg and RB’s Liam Lawson.
After suffering another torrid qualifying, the under-pressure Sergio Perez will line up from 16th after an SQ1 elimination.
