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 the second row filled by Pierre Gasly and Charles Leclerc.
Lewis Hamilton is 10th, with Franco Colapinto's 14th in doubt following a huge 50G impact in his Williams in Q2.
Valtteri Bottas qualified in 19th - however the Finn has been pushed back to P20 due to a five-place grid penalty.
NOTE: Grid remains provisional until officially confirmed by the FIA.
