The reigning F1 world champion saw off a challenge from both Mercedes drivers to take pole by 0.304s ahead of George Russell with Lewis Hamilton in third place just 0.005s off his team-mate.
Qualifying was a fraught fight for home hero Sergio Perez who could only manage fourth place due to an electrical issue with his Red Bull F1 car.
But at Ferrari worse was to follow, as Carlos Sainz was fifth in qualifying and Charles Leclerc was down in seventh having been outqualified by Alfa Romeo’s Valtteri Bottas.
Lando Norris won the qualifying battle for McLaren against Alpine, with Fernando Alonso in ninth and Esteban Ocon in 10th, as Daniel Ricciardo once again narrowly missed out after being dumped out in Q2 in 11th.
