The Red Bull driver, who won the sprint race earlier, clocked a flying lap of 1min 31.373sec to head the Ferrari pair of Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton, with championship leader Kimi Antonelli fourth in the Mercedes.
Reigning world champion Lando Norris was fifth fastest in the McLaren with George Russell sixth quickest.
But Russell will start from the back of the grid after being penalised for using too many new parts.
