Lando Norris struck back at McLaren team-mate Oscar Piastri by securing pole position for the Belgian Grand Prix after the Australian's impressive display the day prior.
The Briton secured the Woking squad's first pole at Spa-Francorchamps since Jenson Button in 2012, and will be hoping to convert it into his third victory on the bounce.
Trailing Piastri by a mere nine points, the intra-McLaren battle is heating up, but team principal Andrea Stella would not be surprised to see Charles Leclerc leading by the end of the first lap.
Starting alongside the Ferrari driver on the second row is sprint winner Max Verstappen, who will also pose an early threat to the two papaya cars.
Further down the order, Lewis Hamilton and Kimi Antonelli will be hoping to work their way back into the points, having qualified P16 and P18, respectively. Both will start from the pit lane, alongside Carlos Sainz and Fernando Alonso.
