1 Lewis Hamilton Ferrari
2 George Russell Mercedes
3 Charles Leclerc Ferrari
4 Kimi Antonelli Mercedes
5 Max Verstappen Red Bull (1-place grid penalty)
6 Lando Norris McLaren
7 Isack Hadjar Red Bull
8 Arvid Lindblad Racing Bulls
9 Pierre Gasly Alpine
10 Nico Hülkenberg GE Audi
Lindblad, Gasly and Hulkenberg all moved up due to Liam Lawson’s disqualification from qualifying, which will place the Racing Bulls driver at the back of the grid, even behind Valtteri Bottas, whose engine overhaul incurred a 50-place penalty for an engine overhaul but in reality isn’t being punished at all because he was 21st in qualifying, anyway.
