F1 2025 Hungarian Grand Prix starting grid confirmed after LATE penalties applied

Here is the official final F1 starting grid for the 2025 Hungarian Grand Prix which takes place TODAY (Sunday, August 3) following late penalties.

A Ferrari starts a grand prix on pole for the first time in 2025, after Charles Leclerc produced a stunning lap to triumph over the two McLarens in qualifying.

Oscar Piastri managed to outpace team-mate Lando Norris for second place on the grid, while the Brit will lineup alongside his compatriot George Russell on the second row of the grid.

Max Verstappen will start the Hungarian GP in eighth place, behind Fernando Alonso, Lance Stroll and Gabriel Bortoleto who all enjoyed a spectacular qualifying session on Saturday.

Meanwhile, Lewis Hamilton and Kimi Antonelli will once again start a grand prix outside of the top 10 with their Q2 exit ensuring a grid slot of P12 and P15 respectively.

Yuki Tsunoda will start from the pit-lane following a raft of changes to his engine resulting in a 40-place grid drop.
