For the first time in nearly 12 years, it will be an all-McLaren front-row for a F1 race, with Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri on the front-row of the Hungarian Grand Prix.
In a chaotic dry-wet-dry-wet-dry session at the Hungaroring that lasted nearly 90 minutes, the McLaren pair emerged with the first lockout of the front-row since the 2012 Brazilian Grand Prix.
That day, Lewis Hamilton (who will start fifth here) and Jenson Button took the honours, with Max Verstappen slotting in behind in third, lurking and ready to pounce.
It was another dismal day for Sergio Perez who was dumped out in Q1 following a huge crash as George Russell also fell in the first segment after a Mercedes "disaster." They will be 16th and 17th, respectively.
On Sunday morning, the FIA confirmed that there would be one change to the grid, as Pierre Gasly was forced to start from the pit-lane after taking a new control electronics and energy store in the Alpine.
Only two examples of each are permitted, but Gasly had exceeded this and as such, he was moved from 20th and last on the grid to the pit-lane, leaving 19 cars on the grid.
