Perhaps the only driver to endure a more forgettable qualifying than the Mercedes duo was Sergio Perez.
Red Bull's Perez qualified in 16th, and will start 15th, after another nightmare Saturday.
George Russell and Lewis Hamilton were unable to stun their home crowd on Saturday, and are forced to accept P6 and P7 on the grid.
Max Verstappen of Red Bull is on pole position.
The highest-placed Brit was Lando Norris, the McLaren driver enjoying his best day of 2023 so far by qualifying on the front row.
Valtteri Bottas was disqualified from qualifying so will start at the back, after initially placing in 15th.
