British Grand Prix: F1 2025 starting grid with penalties applied

The grid has been set for the 2025 British Grand Prix at Silverstone, with some penalties playing into the mix.

Max Verstappen took a stunning pole at the home of British motorsport, beating out all of the much-vaunted home drivers to claim a shock qualifying win.

Lando Norris will start in third, behind Verstappen and his team-mate Oscar Piastri, while Russell will be just behind him in fourth.

Hamilton will round out the top five, but another British F1 star will start all the way down in 18th, despite qualifying up in eighth.

That's because Oliver Bearman was handed a 10-place grid drop after an incident in FP3, in which he crashed on his way into the pits under red flag conditions.

With four-time champion Verstappen and current championship leader Piastri making up the front row, Sunday's race is sure to be a thrilling affair at Silverstone!
