IndyCar: St Pete Grand Prix starting lineup with penalties applied

The starting lineup for the 2025 IndyCar season opener is officially set after an exciting qualifying session on Saturday afternoon.

The St Pete Grand Prix is now just hours away, with Team Penske star Scott McLaughlin set to start from pole after putting in a stunning lap around the streets of St. Petersburg, Florida.

McLaughlin's lap time was just enough to edge Andretti Global's Colton Herta, but it will be fascinating to see how the pair get on during Sunday's race.

Of course, they will not be the only ones eyeing a victory, with the likes of Felix Rosenqvist, Marcus Armstrong and Scott Dixon all set to start inside the top six.

However, a victory may be out of reach for McLaren's Pato O'Ward after a disastrous qualifying saw him exit in the first round on Saturday. As a result, the Mexican driver will start Sunday's GP all the way down in 23rd position.

With all of that said, let's take a look at today's starting lineup in full, with any overnight penalties that may or may not have been dished out applied.
