F1 2025 Austrian Grand Prix starting grid with penalties applied

Lando Norris will start the F1 Austrian Grand Prix from pole on today (Sunday 29th June) as the FIA have now officially confirmed the starting grid for lights out at the Red Bull Ring.

The McLaren star sat out of FP1 to give Alex Dunne a run in an F1 session, and has sat atop the time sheets for every session since he re-entered the car for FP2, including each stage of qualifying.

While Oscar Piastri and Max Verstappen were hindered in their final runs of the day, they were unlikely to seriously challenge Norris' time in a blistering last lap, dipping under 64 seconds for the first time and building a gap of more than half a second to second-placed Charles Leclerc – at a track where time gaps are famously compressed.

Piastri will start on the second row alongside Lewis Hamilton, while Verstappen's initial banker lap was only good enough for seventh place behind George Russell and the impressive performance of Liam Lawson.

Gabriel Bortoleto put his Sauber alongside Verstappen in his first ever Q3, the rookie having cruised through Q1 and Q2 without ever being lower than eighth on the final timing sheets.

Here's the final starting grid for Sunday's race as now officially confirmed by the FIA!
