Lando Norris will head a McLaren front row lockout at the start of the Belgian Grand Prix on Sunday, pipping team-mate Oscar Piastri by less than a tenth of a second in qualifying.

Max Verstappen was nudged down to fourth by Charles Leclerc thanks to a mistake on his final flying lap, but it wasn't all bad for the Red Bull family, with all four of their drivers set to start in the top ten.

Mercedes hotshot Kimi Antonelli took a knock at Spa, getting knocked out in Q1 for the second day in a row, and he will be joined in the bottom five on Sunday's Belgian Grand Prix grid by Lewis Hamilton...again, after the pair lined up near the back in the sprint.

The Ferrari star looked to have eased through with a late lap which put him comfortably into the top ten, but that lap was deleted for a track limits violation at Raidillon, with Hamilton being told the news on his way back to the pits.

The session started with some mild drama in the pitlane, with Nico Hulkenberg trying to force his way out into the fast lane and hitting Lance Stroll at low speed. The Sauber had to be pulled back into his garage to have front wing damage repaired, while Stroll appeared to have a little damage too.

Hulkenberg snuck through in 13th, but Stroll finished 20th and will share the back row with team-mate Fernando Alonso.
