OFFICIAL GRID: Who starts where as Stroll penalised in Austin
The full official starting order for Sunday's 2025 United States Grand Prix at the Circuit of The Americas in Austin.

Two of the key title protagonists start on the front row for the United States Grand Prix – but the Championship leader is only sixth. That’s after Max Verstappen dominated Qualifying for Red Bull ahead of McLaren’s Lando Norris, whose team mate Oscar Piastri could do no better than row three.
Between them, the resurgent Ferraris of Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton line up third and fifth respectively, split by Singapore Grand Prix winner George Russell in the Mercedes. Impressive showings from Kimi Antonelli and Oliver Bearman put the Mercedes and Haas youngsters on row four, while Aston Martin’s Fernando Alonso and Williams’ Carlos Sainz complete the top 10.
At the back of the order, meanwhile, we have a penalised Lance Stroll in the second Aston Martin – after the Canadian was deemed at fault for a collision in the Sprint – and Racing Bulls’ Isack Hadjar who failed to set a Qualifying time thanks to his Q1 crash.
