Max Verstappen was joined by a shock partner on the front row of the grid for the Canadian Grand Prix after qualifying on Saturday afternoon, with Haas' Nico Hulkenberg putting his car in second place.
Hulkenberg was helped out by the rain – and the timely Oscar Piastri crash it induced – in getting ahead of his rivals in Q3, but drove fantastically to put in a quick early 'banker' lap.
Alex Albon led the way in the second part of qualifying after an excellent lap on soft tyres, as both Sergio Perez and Charles Leclerc missed the final part of qualifying for the second race in a row.
Confusion and disarray in a wet-dry-wet session led to even more chaos than in Q1, with the second Red Bull and the Ferrari falling victim.
Chaotic Saturday
Meanwhile in Q1, a fifth red flag of the weekend hit the the session within mere minutes, with Zhou Guanyu's Alfa Romeo parking up by the side of the track.
A cluster of cars ended up racing to the finish line to start a final lap, in a situation reminiscent of the 2019 Italian Grand Prix – although this time everyone started a final lap.
