Carlos Sainz will start from pole position for the first time in his F1 career for Sunday's British Grand Prix.
The Spaniard navigated the mixed weather conditions to secure P1, while championship leader Max Verstappen lines up alongside him on the front row.
Sainz's Ferrari teammate Charles Leclerc qualified in third, and Red Bull's Sergio Perez completes the top four.
After displaying promise throughout the practice sessions, it was a slightly disappointing result for Mercedes. Lewis Hamilton starts the race from fifth, with George Russell back in eighth.
It was a more positive day for some, though. Williams' Nicholas Latifi secured his first Q3 appearance in Formula 1, and lines up in 10th for the Grand Prix.
The starting grid below is provisional until confirmed by F1's governing body, the FIA.
