Alpine's Pierre Gasly took pole position for Sunday's race for a stunning first career pole position in F1.
Mercedes' George Russell was unable to fully capitalise on team-mate and championship rival Kimi Anotnelli's grid penalty, qualifying second, 0.080 seconds behind Gasly.
Because of a three-place grid penalty for McLaren's Oscar Piastri, home hero Charles Leclerc will start third with Ferrari team-mate Lewis Hamilton fourth.
Red Bull's Max Verstappen, last year's winner, will be fifth on the grid with Piastri alongside.
Lights out for Sunday's 53-lap race will be at 14:00 BST on Sunday.
