The final starting grid for the 2025 Italian Grand Prix has been provisionally set, with Lewis Hamilton's penalty demoting him down five places.
Hamilton picked up the penalty at the Dutch GP last weekend for failing to slow down sufficiently under yellow flag conditions, but was unable to serve the penalty, so it was carried over to Monza, his first race for Ferrari at the historic track.
It means that the Brit will start down in 10th for Sunday's race, having qualified fifth, once again behind team-mate Charles Leclerc.
Meanwhile, Max Verstappen snatched pole position from McLaren with a stunning lap at the death, pinching it off Lando Norris.
Championship rivals Norris and Oscar Piastri will start second and third respectively for the race, with Leclerc fourth and George Russell making up the top five after Hamilton's penalty.
After his first Q1 exit of his rookie season with Racing Bulls, Isack Hadjar was due to start 16th but has confirmed he will start from the pit lane, having revealed his team would change many engine components on his car.
Pierre Gasly was also given a pit-lane start for similar reasons having qualified 19th for Alpine on Saturday.
