McLaren's Oscar Piastri took pole position for the Chinese Grand Prix as George Russell's Mercedes snuck between the Australian and team-mate Lando Norris.
Piastri was fastest of all on both his laps in the final part of qualifying and took pole from Russell by 0.082 seconds.
Norris aborted his final run after a mistake in the middle for the lap and that gave Russell the chance to edge ahead.
Red Bull's Max Verstappen took fourth, ahead of Lewis Hamilton, who took his first win for Ferrari in the sprint race earlier on Saturday.
The seven-time champion beat his team-mate Charles Leclerc by 0.
