Pierre Gasly will lead the F1 field away from pole position after taking an unexpected pole position at the Italian Grand Prix.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
The Alpine driver powered his way to the top spot ahead of George Russell, in what was the closest Q3 battle in F1 history.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
The starting grid has been significantly disrupted due to the application of multiple penalties.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
After qualifying in third place, Oscar Piastri was punished for impeding Liam Lawson, and has subsequently dropped to sixth.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
Championship leader Kimi Antonelli is one of several drivers who have dropped down the order due to an engine penalty, with Mercedes opting to fit a new power unit for the weekend.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
Lawson and Williams’ Alex Albon are also due to start at the back of the field, with Lawson being further relegated to the pit-lane on Sunday morning after parc ferme issues, and will be joined there by Fernando Alonso’s Aston Martin following engine component changes.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
