Red Bull's Max Verstappen will start the race from pole position after upsetting Ferrari's Carlos Sainz in Saturday's qualifying.
Verstappen's team-mate Sergio Perez was due to line up third but a three-place penalty for impeding Nico Hulkenberg in Q1 leaves him sixth on the grid.
This means McLaren duo Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri will take the start from third and fifth respectively, with Ferrari's Charles Leclerc splitting the two.
