McLaren's Oscar Piastri lines up second, followed by Carlos Sainz, Lando Norris and George Russell to round out the top five.

Max Verstappen's bid for a record-breaking ninth consecutive pole position was thwarted after a brush with the wall on his final lap. This drops him to sixth, with Lewis Hamilton right behind in seventh.
