Yuki Tsunoda will start seventh with the Racing Bulls pair of Isack Hadjar and Liam Lawson directly behind him on the grid.

Gabriel Bortoleto, the Sauber driver, completes the top 10.

Further back, Ferrari driver and seven-time World Champion Lewis Hamilton will be looking to make progress from 18th having qualified a disappointing 16th.

Hamilton suffered a second Q1 elimination in the space of 24 hours after having his final lap time deleted.

Russell’s Mercedes team-mate Andrea Kimi Antonelli also starts out of position in 18th after another unconvincing qualifying display.

Fernando Alonso and Lance Stroll make up an all-Aston Martin back row as they line up 19th and 20th respectively.
