Germany's Nico Rosberg has set the fastest time in qualifying to seize pole position for the Belgian Formula One Grand Prix, while Australian Daniel Ricciardo's Red Bull will start from fifth on the grid.
The Mercedes driver lapped the 7km Spa-Francorchamps circuit on Saturday in one minute 46.744 seconds.
Red Bull's Max Verstappen has been second quickest and will start alongside the German on the front row for what is the closest the Dutchman has to a home race on the calendar.
Four-times Belgium winner Kimi Raikkonen was third for Ferrari, with teammate Sebastian Vettel of Germany fourth.
World championship leader Lewis Hamilton, set to start last due to a 55-place engine-related grid penalty, drove only four laps at an easy pace and did not make it beyond the opening phase of qualifying.
The Briton heads into the weekend gunning to become only the third driver to take 50 career wins.
He has won six of the past seven races, four of those in succession, and leads Rosberg by 19 points in the standings.
