OFFICIAL GRID: Who’s where in Spain as Stroll withdraws and Tsunoda starts from pit lane

McLaren has seized a dominant front-row lockout for the Spanish Grand Prix, with Oscar Piastri narrowly outpacing Lando Norris to claim pole position in a thrilling qualifying session. The orange machines now face the challenge of holding off fierce competition into Turn 1, notably from Red Bull's Max Verstappen and Mercedes' George Russell, who recorded identical lap times, placing them on the second row. Further back, Lewis Hamilton in the Ferrari and Kimi Antonelli in the second Mercedes pose a threat from the third row. The top 10 on the grid also features Charles Leclerc (Ferrari), Pierre Gasly (Alpine), and a commendable performance from rookie Isack Hadjar (Racing Bulls), who secured P9. Local hero Fernando Alonso starts 10th for Aston Martin, while teammate Lance Stroll withdrew due to a wrist injury. Meanwhile, Carlos Sainz (Williams) will start a disappointing 17th, with Yuki Tsunoda (Red Bull) relegated to a pit lane start after setup changes.
