F1 Brazilian Grand Prix starting grid with penalties applied

The starting grid for the 2025 Brazilian Grand Prix has been provisionally confirmed by the FIA.

After a busy Saturday that saw Lando Norris take the victory in the sprint race, the Brit then also put his McLaren on pole, taking a commanding position in the fight for the drivers' championship.

Now nine points ahead of team-mate Oscar Piastri, Norris has a two-car buffer between himself and the Australian, with Kimi Antonelli starting second for Sunday's main race, and Charles Leclerc in third.

Piastri will line up in fourth, while Racing Bulls' Isack Hadjar rounds out the top five.

The other championship protagonist in the shape of four-time world champion Max Verstappen is only set to start in 16th, after a terrible qualifying for Red Bull that saw both he and Yuki Tsunoda knocked out in Q1.

It was the first time since the 2006 Japanese Grand Prix that Red Bull did not have either car in Q2, and the first time since the 2021 Russian GP that Verstappen himself had not made it through to Q2.

Here is the starting grid for the Brazilian GP on Sunday.
