Lando Norris grabbed top spot for the Spanish Grand Prix after a lap described as a masterpiece.
The full starting grid, with all penalties applied, has been published. It indicates Norris beginning at a handicap despite being the pole-setter. The grid changes mean he will be placed behind drivers he outpaced.
McLaren teammate Oscar Piastri went through a dreadful qualifying run. He said plainly his lap was crap. Piastri faces more pain in Spain after his qualifying struggles. He will need to overtake cars in the race from a poor starting position.
The final grid creates an early obstacle for McLaren. Norris must respond with a strong opening lap to avoid losing more ground. Piastri also faces a long afternoon. McLaren will want a strong response.
