The championship leader starts directly behind the Briton in third, with the Silver Arrows pair split by seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton.

Antonelli is joined by reigning world champion Lando Norris on the second row, with Max Verstappen and Isack Hadjar locking out the third row for Red Bull.
