The McLaren duo of Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris will start the 2025 Spanish Grand Prix from the front row, with Piastri taking pole with the largest gap of the season thus far.

This is the full F1 starting grid for the Spanish Grand Prix at the 2025 Spanish Grand Prix.

Oscar Piastri heads the F1 starting grid in Spain

The Spanish Grand Prix weekend brought with it TD018, which promised to clamp down on regulating the “flexi-wings” that various teams have enjoyed since 2024.

But it wasn’t enough to slow the pace of the dominant McLaren team. In the final qualifying session, Lando Norris took an early provisional pole, only to be bettered by his teammate Oscar Piastri on their second flying laps.

Piastri took pole by a margin of 0.209 seconds over his teammate — the largest margin of the season so far in 2025!

Max Verstappen and George Russell will share the second row, having set identical lap times.

Notable early knock-outs included Yuki Tsunoda, who qualified dead last in a dismal showing for the Red Bull racing driver.
