Oscar Piastri snatched pole position for the Qatar Grand Prix, besting Lando Norris by a tenth of a second during the penultimate qualifying session of the 2025 F1 season.<\/p>\n

The British driver looked to have found the measure of his McLaren team-mate, but aborted his final push lap after going wide at Turn 2, opening the door to Piastri.<\/p>\n

Max Verstappen went third fastest under the lights of the Lusail International Circuit, with George Russell due to join the Red Bull driver on the second row of the grid.<\/p>\n

Kimi Antonelli in the second Mercedes rounded out the top five, ahead of Isack Hadjar.<\/p>\n

Lewis Hamilton was knocked out of Q1 in qualifying for the third grid-setting session in a row<\/a>. It is also the first time the seven-time F1 drivers’ champion has failed to reach Q2 at consecutive grands prix since a three-round run in 2009.<\/p>\n

Alex Albon will be investigated after the session for allegedly failing to follow the race director’s instructions<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A strange red flag incident<\/a> involving Carlos Sainz briefly interrupted Q3, before the final five minutes were run.<\/p>\n
