Just missing out on the final segment was Carlos Sainz, the Williams driver set to start 11th, ahead of Yuki Tsunoda and Nico Hulkenberg.
A loss of power saw George Russell roll to a halt early in Qualifying 2 to end his session without a time in the segment, leaving him 14th.
It was double disaster for Mercedes after a brush with the apex barrier at Nouvelle Chicane ended Kimi Antonelli’s session at the end of Qualifying 1, despite the Italian recording a time good enough to progress, leaving him 15th.
At the back of the grid, a 10-place penalty for Oliver Bearman for impeding during practice on Friday sees him last after qualifying 17th fastest.
Ahead of him is Lance Stroll who remains 19th, despite having a one-place penalty himself for impeding Lewis Hamilton in Free Practice 1.
