F1 2025: Monaco Grand Prix starting grid with penalties applied

Lando Norris took the all-important pole position for this weekend's Monaco Grand Prix, smashing the circuit's lap record in Saturday's qualifying session.

He's joined on the front row by hometown boy and last year's winner Charles Leclerc, with the pair followed closely by Norris' McLaren team-mate Oscar Piastri.

Those three drivers are overwhelmingly likely to define the race, with this year marking 40 years since a driver starting outside the front three won a dry race in the Principality.

There are some shifts lower down the field though, with multiple drivers affected by penalties. The highest profile driver affected is Lewis Hamilton, who drops from fourth to seventh for impeding Max Verstappen on a push lap after receiving an inaccurate radio message.

Ollie Bearman dropped to the back of the grid from 17th thanks to a ten-place penalty picked up in practice for overtaking under a red flag, the largest penalty handed out so far in the weekend.

Lance Stroll, meanwhile, was penalised twice – being handed a one-place penalty for an incident in practice that left Charles Leclerc without a front wing, before having a three-place demotion pinned to him for impeding Pierre Gasly in qualifying.

Here's the full starting grid for Sunday's Monaco Grand Prix.
