George Russell and Carlos Sainz will share the front-row for the 2024 Las Vegas Grand Prix, with title rivals Max Verstappen and Lando Norris only on the third.
Verstappen must finish ahead of Norris, with the Briton scoring at least three points to prolong the title fight to Qatar.
They will begin their duel from row three, with Pierre Gasly and Charles Leclerc filling the second row. Lewis Hamilton is 10th in his Mercedes.
With Franco Colapinto competing after being declared fit to race following a huge 50G impact in his Williams in Q2, the team took the opportunity to make changes to the car, leading to a pit-lane start.
The drivers below him all move up one position. For Valtteri Bottas, who qualified in 19th but was demoted to 20th due to serving a five-place grid penalty, the Finn will now actually start 19th.
NOTE: Grid remains provisional until officially confirmed by the FIA.
