Lando Norris will start on pole position for the 2025 Belgian Grand Prix, after beating his team-mate Oscar Piastri by just under a tenth of a second to head the starting grid for what looks likely to be a wet race.

Having finished third behind Max Verstappen and Piastri in the morning’s sprint race, Norris was quickest in qualifying at Spa Francorchamps, as he targets a third consecutive grand prix win.

Sprint winner Verstappen will start fourth behind Charles Leclerc, having battled a twitchy car, and he’ll be ahead of Alex Albon who starts an impressive fifth for Williams.

However Kimi Antonelli and Lewis Hamilton will once more have it all to do in the Grand Prix. They were eliminated in the first Q1 stage, just as they were on Friday in qualifying for the sprint race. Antonelli struggled to coax a competitive lap from his Mercedes and was 18th. Hamilton strayed just outside the track limits in his Ferrari, resulting in his best lap time being deleted and leaving him 16th.

Norris was almost half a second behind his team-mate in Friday’s sprint qualifying, which he mainly put down to the lack of a slipstream on his flying lap. He didn’t have that problem and, after fixing “a couple of issues”, took pole.

George Russell will start sixth with Yuki Tsunoda seventh, ahead of both Isack Hadjar and Liam Lawson‘s closely-matched Racing Bulls. Gabriel Bortoleto rounds out the top ten for Sauber.

Q1 started badly for Lance Stroll when he was hit by Nico Hülkenberg who was attempting to join the queue of cars in a crowded pitlane. The impact damaged the Sauber’s front wing, but Hülkenberg ultimately recovered to make it into Q2.

The same couldn’t be said for Stroll who was last in the session, just behind Aston Martin team-mate Fernando Alonso: they are set to make up the back of the grid in what looks like the slowest car of the weekend.

Antonelli will start ahead of them, alongside Alpine’s Franco Colapinto. Hamilton was the fastest driver eliminated in Q1.
