Lando Norris secured a crucial pole at the Sao Paulo Grand Prix, with F1 title rival Max Verstappen set to start the race from 17th on the grid.
Norris contended tough conditions to secure pole ahead of George Russell, with just over a tenth between them.
RB's Yuki Tsunoda secured third, with a number of midfield teams showing great pace.
It was a qualifying of attrition with both Williams drivers, the two Aston Martins and Carlos Sainz all crashing.
