Revised Starting Grid for the 2025 F1 Monaco Grand Prix Following Penalties
Lando Norris will line up on pole position for the 2025 Formula 1 Monaco Grand Prix after a dramatic qualifying session and several post-qualifying penalties reshaped the starting order.
Norris narrowly secured the top spot by just one-tenth of a second ahead of Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc. McLaren’s Oscar Piastri originally qualified third, while Lewis Hamilton took fourth—however, the Ferrari driver has been pushed back to seventh after being penalized for impeding Max Verstappen during qualifying.
Hamilton is one of three drivers who received grid drops. Oliver Bearman was handed a 10-place penalty for a red flag infringement, and Lance Stroll received two separate penalties: one for a Friday collision with Leclerc and another for impeding Pierre Gasly during Sunday’s session.
As a result, Max Verstappen moves up to fourth, while younger talents like Isack Hadjar and Liam Lawson benefit from the reshuffling.
Note: This starting grid remains provisional pending FIA confirmation.
