F1 2025 Miami Grand Prix starting grid with penalties applied

The FIA have now officially confirmed the starting grid for Formula 1's sixth round of the season at the Miami Grand Prix, with a late change being confirmed by the sport's governing body.

Max Verstappen snatched pole position from McLaren once again, after Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri claimed at 1-2 during the sprint race.

The Dutchman demonstrated his resilience to launch a comeback in qualifying after a disappointing sprint race, where he was slammed with a 10-second time penalty following an unsafe release into the path of Kimi Antonelli.

Verstappen will start first on the grid for the third time this season, with Lando Norris keeping him company on the front row.

Oscar Piastri will start P4 after a sensational lap from Antonelli, who split the two McLarens and outpaced his team-mate George Russell in both qualifying sessions in Miami.

Meanwhile, it has been confirmed that Pierre Gasly will drop down from his 18th-placed qualifying position to start from the pit lane, after the team made changes to his Alpine when in parc ferme conditions to give themselves a better chance in the race.

The order below is the final starting grid as confirmed by the FIA.
