Lando Norris is on pole for the 2025 Belgian Grand Prix - which is threatening to be a wet race.

After being outperformed by team-mate Oscar Piastri throughout the weekend, Norris earned pole by 0.085s to earn McLaren bragging rights as Charles Leclerc squeaked ahead of Max Verstappen for third in McLaren's first Spa pole since Jenson Button in 2012.

Elsewhere, Lewis Hamilton was knocked out in Q1 in 16th after a time deletion for track limits.

It is expected to be a wet race at Spa, with a Sunday morning weather forecast after a huge FIA F3 delay, available here.

Kimi Antonelli is due to start from the pit-lane after a full power unit change by Mercedes, but he has been joined by Lewis Hamilton and Fernando Alonso. 

All three have taken new power unit components above their allocations, with Hamilton, Alonso, and Antonelli taking a new ICE, turbo-charger, MGU-H, and MGU-K, with Hamilton also taking a new energy store and control electronics.

A fifth exhaust is within his allocation.

Ferrari has also made set-up changes to the suspension of the car, breaking parc ferme, and meaning Hamilton would be required to start from the pit-lane regardless of the engine penalties.

In a further change, Carlos Sainz has also been relegated to a pit-lane start, following parc ferme set-up changes, leaving 16 cars on the grid itself.

NOTE: Grid remains provisional until officially confirmed by the FIA.
