Lando Norris starts from pole with teammate Oscar Piastri alongside as McLaren locked out the front row of the grid at Spa-Francorchamps.

Charles Leclerc heads the challenge to the McLaren duo from P3 in his Ferrari, with Red Bull's Max Verstappen joining the Monegasque on the second row.

Alex Albon lines up from a superb fifth for Williams, ahead of George Russell's Mercedes and Yuki Tsunoda, who goes from seventh in the second Red Bull.

The Racing Bulls of Isack Hadjar and Liam Lawson will start eighth and ninth, with Sauber's Gabriel Bortoleto completing the top-10.

Lewis Hamilton qualified in P16. The seven-time world champion exited in Q1 after having his best lap time deleted for a track limits infringement. He will start the grand prix from the pitlane.

Kimi Antonelli qualified only 18th but will start from the pitlane instead due to overnight work on his Mercedes set-up.

The two Aston Martins qualified at the very back of the grid after a nightmare day in Belgium. Fernando Alonso has also opted to start from the pitlane.

The four drivers in the pitlane - Hamilton, Antonelli, Alonso and Carlos Sainz - have new engines which take them above their allocation. But it allows them to tweak the set-up of their cars for the wet.
