The Dutchman set two laps good enough for pole to see off Mercedes teammates Valtteri Bottas and championship rival Lewis Hamilton, who were second and third fastest.
But Bottas will be penalised three places for a clumsy and dangerous spin in the pit lane during Friday practice, demoting him to fifth and elevating Hamilton to the front row.
