Overview

  • Oscar Piastri outpaced Lando Norris by over two tenths of a second to secure his fourth pole of the 2025 season.
  • McLaren topped all three practice sessions and shrugged off the new front wing regulations to lock out the front row.
  • Max Verstappen qualified third after his Red Bull struggled for grip on the soft tire compound, ending 0.302 seconds behind pole pace.
  • Red Bull’s Yuki Tsunoda failed to advance past Q1 and will start last due to ongoing balance problems with his car.
  • George Russell qualified fourth and criticized Mercedes’ conservative Q3 timing, suggesting an earlier run might have earned him a higher grid slot.
