Oscar Piastri and Max Verstappen will share the front-row for the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix, with Lando Norris only fourth.
Piastri pipped Verstappen by 0.034s to land Imola pole, with Norris being bumped by George Russell to third.
The Ferrari drivers are a lowly 11th and 12th, after Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton were dumped in Q2.
Elsewhere, Franco Colapinto received a penalty for a qualifying blunder following Yuki Tsunoda's huge accident, and will now start 16th, with Liam Lawson shuffling forward one place.
Tsunoda must report to the stewards for formal permission to race, having not officially set a lap time before his enormous accident at the Villeneuve chicane. He has been cleared, but the extent of the car repairs means he will start from the pit lane.
NOTE: The grid remains provisional until officially confirmed by the FIA.
