Max Verstappen will start on pole for the Qatar Grand Prix after the Red Bull star put in a superb display during qualifying at the Losail International Circuit.
Verstappen put in an unbeaten lap time of 1:23.778s and will be joined on the front row by George Russell.
Oscar Piastri was initially set to start alongside Lewis Hamilton on the second row, but the Australian was stung with a last-minute lap time deletion for exceeding track limits that saw him drop three places to start in P6.
One of the main shocks came during Q2 when both Sergio Perez and Carlos Sainz failed to make it into Q3.
Perez had a lap-time deleted at the end of Q2 as he tumbled down the order as the chequered flag came out.
The Mexican will start in P13 on Sunday, while Sainz finds himself only one place better as he will line up in 12th for lights out.
Barring any late penalties, the grid is now locked in for Sunday's race, with Saturday's sprint events having no impact on the starting order for lights out.
