F1 2025 Monaco Grand Prix starting grid with penalties applied

The FIA have now confirmed the final starting grid for the Monaco Grand Prix after all penalties have been applied – and Lando Norris will start from pole position after breaking the track's lap record in qualifying on Saturday.

Charles Leclerc will start alongside him on the front row as he tries to win his home race for the second year in a row, with Norris' McLaren team-mate Oscar Piastri behind his sister papaya car in third.

Those three drivers are overwhelmingly likely to define the race, with this year marking 40 years since a driver starting outside the front three won a dry race in the Principality.

There are some shifts lower down the field though, with multiple drivers affected by penalties. The highest profile is for Lewis Hamilton, who drops from fourth to seventh for impeding Max Verstappen on a push lap after receiving an inaccurate radio message.

Ollie Bearman dropped to the back of the grid from 17th thanks to a ten-place penalty picked up in practice for overtaking under a red flag, the largest penalty handed out so far in the weekend.

Lance Stroll, meanwhile, was penalised twice – being handed a one-place penalty for an incident in practice that left Charles Leclerc without a front wing, before having a three-place demotion pinned to him for impeding Pierre Gasly in qualifying.

Those penalties, combined with the larger one for Bearman, see Stroll drop from the 19th place he earned in qualifying down to...19th.

Here's the full starting grid for Sunday's Monaco Grand Prix as now confirmed by the FIA.
