Red Bull's decision to hand Yuki Tsunoda a new power unit means there is a change to the starting grid for the Las Vegas Grand Prix.

Tsunoda, who had qualified a miserable 19th, will now start the 50-lap race from the pit lane due to his RB21 taking on a new internal combustion engine, turbocharger, MGU-H, MGU-K, and an exhaust.

That means Lewis Hamilton moves up one position to fill the grid slot vacated by Tsunoda. It remains the first time he starts a race from last position based on pure pace alone.

Up ahead of the seven-time F1 champion, Lando Norris lines up on pole position after a stunning effort in the rain in Sin City.

On a track not expected to suit the McLaren, Norris survived the treacherous, if drying conditions in Q3, to roar to his third pole in a row.

Team-mate Oscar Piastri was hampered by a yellow flag on his final run, leaving him only fifth behind Red Bull's Max Verstappen, Carlos Sainz in his Williams, and Mercedes' George Russell. 

Check out the updated starting grid for the 2025 F1 Las Vegas Grand Prix below!
