The McLaren duo of Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri locked out the second row and will go from third and fourth respectively.
Zhou Guanyu had his best-ever qualifying to take a remarkable fifth, ahead of Ferrari's Charles Leclerc and Alfa Romeo teammate Valtteri Bottas.
Fernando Alonso, Sergio Perez and Nico Hulkenberg complete the rest of the top-10 order for Aston Martin, Red Bull and Haas.
Daniel Ricciardo starts his comeback F1 race with AlphaTauri from 13th, meanwhile George Russell is only 18th after a nightmare qualifying.
