Oscar Piastri beat team-mate Lando Norris to pole position for the Spanish Grand Prix as McLaren sealed a front-row lockout.
Piastri, who leads Norris by three points at the top of the world championship, trailed after the first laps in the final part of qualifying but produced a superb final run to take his fourth pole of the season with a 1:11.546.
Norris was unable to maintain the form he showed to take pole and win in Monaco last weekend as a scrappy final effort left him two tenths of a second off Piastri.
