Oscar Piastri, Australia's McLaren driver, has promised to let personal ambition take second place to team priorities after a remarkable front-row lock out for Sunday's Hungarian Grand Prix.
Piastri lines up alongside English-born team-mate Lando Norris, who is on pole, after the British team dominated Saturday's qualifying session.
"Of course when I miss out by two 100ths you think of all the little things you can do a bit better but it's an amazing result for the team,” Piastri said, before adding that the main goal is to keep both the papaya-coloured cars at the front come the race's finish.
“Of course I want to get into the lead, but we have both cars on the front row and we are trying to win this championship as a team, and we will be smart,” the Australian said.
“We want to keep it one-two and we will fight it amongst ourselves to see who gets one.”
Piastri is fifth in the drivers' standings, on 124 points, while second-placed Norris has 171. Max Verstappen is well clear on 255. Piastri has yet to win a grand prix, but has finished second in Canada and Austria this year.
He saluted the achievement of becoming part of the first McLaren pairing to take out the front row since 2012, in Brazil. "It’s the first one-two in qualifying for McLaren for a very long time, so I’m very happy," he said.
Referencing an awkward second practice session on Friday, when he finished down the standings in 13th, Piastri added: "A tricky day on my side yesterday so nice to bounce back."
