F1 live stream 2025 Japanese GP: Qualifying result, grid and race start time as Verstappen claims pole

1. Max Verstappen – 1:26:983

4. Charles Leclerc +0.316

GP: “That’s insane, pole place!”

MV: “Sure let’s go! What a lap, sure guys! Yeah, I’m actually blissful!”

Out of nothing, Verstappen takes pole!

Lando Norris thought he’d finished it on the finish, earlier than a magic closing sector from the Dutchman – 0.012 secs forward of Norris general!

3-10: Piastri, Leclerc, Russell, Antonelli, Hadjar, Hamilton, Albon, Bearman

All 10 drivers on the market on new smooth tyres then for these closing runs!

I feel the order might shake-up huge time right here… 2:00 to go in Q3!

Gosh, little bit of a shock after the primary laps!

Piastri on provisional pole with a 1:27:052, two-tenths forward of Max Verstappen in second!

Lando Norris down in P5! What occurred to the Brit?! He’ll have another likelihood…

3-10: Leclerc, Russell, Norris, Hamilton, Hadjar, Bearman, Albon, Antonelli

Disappointment for Yuki Tsunoda on his Pink Bull debut – he’s solely in P15! The slowest in Q2!

But Isack Hadjar and Ollie Bearman are by with beautiful laps!

Present bottom-five (11-15) and out in Q2: Gasly, Sainz, Alonso, Lawson, Tsunoda

High-3: Norris, Russell, Verstappen

Time for the top-10 shootout!
