Here are the complete F1 results from qualifying at the Italian Grand Prix, the 16th round of the F1 2025 season at the Monza circuit.

What are the F1 results from qualifying at the Italian Grand Prix?

Qualifying 1 saw times tumble quickly, such that midway through the segment that none of the 20 drivers were safe as Fernando Alonso shot up to third fastest.

Ahead of the final runs, George Russell sat fastest from Lando Norris, with Oscar Piastri seventh and Max Verstappen 10th. Fan favourite, Lewis Hamilton, was eighth best.

Russell ended proceedings fastest, Verstappen rising to second from Norris.

At the other end of the timesheet, eliminated were Isack Hadjar, Lance Stroll, Franco Colapinto, Pierre Gasly, and Liam Lawson.

It marked a double retirement for Racing Bulls and Alpine, a reality check for the former after the dizzying heights of a Dutch GP podium.

An aborted effort early in Qualifying 2 saw Norris back in the pits and down the order in the early moments as Verstappen topped the running.

Piastri had improved to third as the chequered flag fell, affording his teammate a slipstream as it did, the Brit rising to fifth.

Outside of the fastest 10m were Oliver Bearman, Nico Hulkenberg, Carlos Sainz, Alex Albon, and Esteban Ocon.

Provisional pole went to Piastri briefly before Leclerc sent the crowd into raptures moments later with his first flying lap in Qualifying 1.

Verstappen became the first driver to break into the 1:18 bracket, holding top spot until the very end of the session.

For a moment, Norris stole it away as he flashed across the line for his final lap, only for the Dutchman to reclaim pole position.

Norris will join him on the front row, with Piastri and Leclerc on the second row.

Hamilton was fifth fastest which, with his five-place grid penalty will drop him to 10th place for Sunday’s Italian GP.
