George Russell set two laps good enough for pole position and will start at the very front for the Singapore Grand Prix on Sunday.
The Mercedes driver posted a 1m 29.158s which left him 0.182s clear of Max Verstappen and a further tenth ahead of Drivers' Championship leader Oscar Piastri.
It marks Russell's first pole under the floodlights in Singapore and the first for Mercedes since Lewis Hamilton's lap in 2018.
