Lando Norris claimed pole 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 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 suffered a terrible qualifying session. He conceded his lap was crap. Piastri can expect more frustration in Spain after his qualifying struggles. He will have to make up ground in the race from a poor starting position.

The final grid sets up a tricky start for McLaren. Norris must respond with a strong opening lap to avoid losing more ground. Piastri also faces a long afternoon. McLaren will see the penalty as costly.
