F1 2025 British Grand Prix starting grid with penalties applied

The FIA have officially announced the final starting grid for the 2025 F1 British Grand Prix, which kicks off TODAY (Sunday, July 6) with Max Verstappen on pole position at Silverstone.

The Dutchman claimed his 44th career pole during Saturday qualifying at Silverstone, denying home heroes Lando Norris, George Russell and Lewis Hamilton.

Norris will start in third, behind Verstappen and his team-mate Oscar Piastri, while Russell will be just behind him in fourth.

Hamilton will round out the top five, but another British F1 star will start all the way down in 18th, despite qualifying up in eighth.

That's because Oliver Bearman was handed a 10-place grid drop after an incident in FP3, in which he crashed on his way into the pits under red flag conditions.

The 20-year-old rookie was not the only driver to be demoted, however, with Mercedes' Kimi Antonelli also being given a three-place grid drop after not being able to serve a penalty at the Austrian GP having crashed out on the opening lap.

With four-time champion Verstappen and current championship leader Piastri making up the front row, Sunday's race is sure to be a thrilling affair at Silverstone.

Here is the final starting grid now officially confirmed by the FIA!
