The F1 starting grid for the 2025 Belgian Grand Prix has been set for today's (Sunday, July 27) 44-lap shootout at Spa.

After winning the sprint race on Saturday, Max Verstappen could only manage the fourth best qualifying time at Spa with the McLarens instead locking out the front row.

Lando Norris secured pole position ahead of his team-mate Oscar Piastri, while Charles Leclerc will start ahead of Verstappen in third.

Leclerc's Ferrari team-mate endured a nightmare qualifying session at Spa however, where Hamilton's best lap in Q1 was deleted for exceeding track limits at Turn 4.

Hamilton will start a disappointing P16 on the grid and two places ahead of Kimi Antonelli in P18 who also had two shocking qualifying sessions in Belgium.
