Lando Norris secured pole position for the Spanish Grand Prix with a lap called a masterpiece.
The full starting grid, with all penalties applied, has been published. It reveals Norris beginning at a handicap despite being the pole-setter. The grid changes mean he will start behind rivals he beat in qualifying.
McLaren teammate Oscar Piastri went through a dreadful qualifying run. He said plainly his lap was crap. Piastri is set for more misery in Spain after his qualifying struggles. He must fight his way forward in the race from a poor starting position.
The final grid creates an early obstacle for McLaren. Norris will need a quick recovery to avoid losing more ground. Piastri will have to work through the field. McLaren will be frustrated by the setback.
