Provisional F1 Grid | Norris on pole, Verstappen languishing in P7
- Nicole Mulder
Lando Norris secured a second pole position on the bounce in Monza, which gives the Brit a great opportunity to cut into Max Verstappen's championship lead. Although the three-time world champion looked to be in pretty good shape during Q1 and Q2, the RB20 was nowhere to be seen in Q3. As a result, the Dutchman and championship leader will start the Italian Grand Prix in seventh place, alongside teammate Sergio Perez. See the full provisional starting grid for the Formula 1 race at Monza below.
Provisional starting line-up for the Italian Grand Prix
While Red Bull struggled, McLaren reigned supreme. Lando Norris secured pole position, giving him the best starting point for Sunday's F1 race. Next to him is his teammate Oscar Piastri, who will be just as keen to take victory.
The McLaren drivers have an eager George Russell right behind them with two equally hungry Ferrari drivers lining up on his tail. Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz would love nothing more than to win the Scuderia's iconic home race. Lewis Hamilton starts from P6 and behind them, on the fourth row, the Red Bulls take off. Alexander Albon and Nico Hulkenberg completed the top ten.
