Max Verstappen mastered the wet Montreal weather to secure pole position for the Canadian Grand Prix.
Fernando Alonso did his best to match him with his first flying lap of Q3, but was two-tenths slower. But Nico Hulkenberg leapfrogged him into second place seconds before an Oscar Piastri crash brought out the red flags.
And, as the rain intensified, it became clear no-one was going to go faster. Lewis Hamilton qualified fourth behind Alonso with a good lap, but was lucky to be in Q3 at all after a Mercedes tyre strategy blunder in the middle part of qualifying left him on intermediates on a drying track.
