Lando Norris grabbed top spot for the Spanish Grand Prix with a qualifying effort that earned high praise.
The full starting grid, after all penalties were added, has been published. It indicates Norris starting with a disadvantage despite being the pole-setter. The grid changes mean he will line up behind some cars he outqualified.
McLaren teammate Oscar Piastri had a shocking qualifying session. He said plainly his lap was crap. Piastri can expect more frustration in Spain after his qualifying struggles. He will need to overtake cars in the race from a poor starting position.
The final grid adds extra tension for McLaren. Norris will have to climb back quickly to avoid losing more ground. Piastri also faces a long afternoon. McLaren will be frustrated by the setback.
