Oscar Piastri will start from pole for the second time at the Qatar Grand Prix after converting his first attempt into victory in the sprint.

This time, the Australian will have Lando Norris alongside him for company, as the latter looks to seal the F1 drivers' championship ahead of the season finale in Abu Dhabi.

Piastri will have other ideas, however, and needs to prevent his McLaren team-mate from outscoring him by four points or more over the 57-lap race.

Max Verstappen, who starts third, is also still in contention. At 25 points adrift of the Briton, the Red Bull driver must get past his MCL39.

Further back, Lewis Hamilton endured another dreadful grid-setting session. He was only quick enough to go P18.

However, the seven-time F1 drivers' champion has a slight reprieve, with Gabriel Bortoleto's five-place grid penalty dropping the Stake driver behind him, from P14 to P19.

NOTE: Grid remains provisional until officially confirmed by the FIA.
