The FIA have now officially confirmed the starting grid for the Australian Grand Prix after one F1 driver has been forced to start from the pitlane thanks to a late change.
McLaren's 2025 strength was on full display as both drivers crushed four-time world champion Max Verstappen, who will start in third with his new team-mate Liam Lawson all the way down in 18th.
A dismal first qualifying session for new Ferrari star Lewis Hamilton sees him start in eighth, but still just one position behind team-mate Charles Leclerc on what was a miserable Saturday for the Maranello-based team.
After an official FIA decision was made on one driver's participation in the race, we will have all 20 drivers taking to the grid for the season-opening Australian Grand Prix.
Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri claimed a one-two in qualifying
