Australia's Oscar Piastri has been hit with a three-place grid penalty at the Italian Grand Prix after he was found guilty of impeding another driver in qualifying.
Piastri finished third in qualifying but will start from sixth on the grid at Monza.
Stewards decided on the grid drop after finding the McLaren driver had impeded Red Bull's Liam Lawson.
Piastri, seventh on the drivers' standings, is on the third row alongside Red Bull's four-time world champion Max Verstappen.
The decision means Ferrari holds down the second row with Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton, behind surprise pole sitter Pierre Gasly and George Russell.
Gasly, who won at Monza in 2020, upset the favourites to grab a stunning career-first pole position with Renault-owned Alpine.
He seized pole from Mercedes's George Russell with a lap of one minute and 21.786 seconds.

His effort was 0.060 quicker than the Briton.
"It's been nine years trying to chase the opportunity to get a pole," said Gasly, who was the last of the pole contenders to complete his final flying lap.
"I won my first race in Monza and got my first pole at this track. It's something special around here."
