F1 starting grid: Oscar Piastri leads from pole

McLaren’s Oscar Piastri will lead the Formula 1 field to green with a commanding qualifying performance that saw him set a time below 1:30 — truly fantastic pace for the driver.

His teammate Lando Norris made a small error in the first sector of his fast lap, which dropped him down to sixth overall. Meanwhile, Pierre Gasly brought Alpine up to a promising fifth-pace start.

Red Bull Racing made it to Q3 with both drivers, but it was perhaps a miracle that it happened; the RB21 looked extremely challenging to drive, with Max Verstappen reporting a complete lack of brakes as he attempted to wrestled his machine onto the racing line.
