Kimi Antonelli secures pole ahead of Max Verstappen at the Belgian Grand Prix
Antonelli disappointed Red Bull’s Max Verstappen, taking the front‑row spot in Friday’s timing session for the Formula 1 Belgian Grand Prix.
After teams fitted new engine components, the FIA assigned grid penalties to five drivers for the race, including Carlos Sainz, Lando Norris, Lance Stroll, Isack Hadjar and Fernando Alonso.
Those penalties will force the affected drivers to start further back, reshaping the opening battle for the majority of the field.
