Max Verstappen stormed to pole position at the first race of the season in Bahrain, seeing off Charles Leclerc's challenge.
Leclerc's time in Q2 was actually the quickest time of the day - but he wasn't able to replicate it in Q3.
George Russell extracted the most from the Mercedes W15 to secure third on the grid ahead of Carlos Sainz and Sergio Perez.
Fernando Alonso did one run in Q3 to secure sixth ahead of McLaren duo Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri.
Lewis Hamilton was only ninth ahead of the ever-impressive Nico Hulkenberg.
