Styrian Grand Prix has been marred by torrential rain, on Saturday, with qualifying looking unlikely after the third practice session was cancelled.
Lewis Hamilton managed to make the most of the adverse conditions to take pole position for Sunday's race. He will start ahead of Red Bull rival Max Verstappen and Ferrari-bound Carlos Sainz from McLaren.
As his rivals faltered, Hamilton banged in fastest lap after fastest lap on his way to completing one of the most impressive qualifying performances in recent memory.
"I love these days," said Hamilton. "The weather is incredibly difficult for all of us. A lot of the time you cannot see where you are going.
"I had a big moment where I aquaplaned and had my heart in my mouth but I was able to improve. I didn't make any mistakes so that is always a positive."
