Formula One championship leader Sebastian Vettel secured Ferrari's first pole position since 2015 on Saturday with team-mate Kimi Raikkonen completing a front-row sweep at the Russian Grand Prix.
The pole, Vettel's 47th, ended a run of 18 in a row for world champion Mercedes which had Valtteri Bottas and Lewis Hamilton right behind the two red cars in third and fourth places.
Vettel, a four-times world champion with Red Bull, has won two of the first three races and leads triple champion Hamilton by seven points.
As a measure of Ferrari's achievement in breaking the Mercedes stranglehold and returning to form, the pole was only the Italian team's sixth since 2008.
