Formula 1 Belgian GP

This is the starting grid for the 2026 F1 Belgian GP

Kimi Antonelli took pole position after qualifying for the 2026 Belgian F1 Grand Prix. Here is the rest of the starting grid, which has been updated following a raft of engine penalties

While Kimi Antonelli sailed to pole position at the Formula 1 Belgian Grand Prix ahead of Red Bull's Max Verstappen, there are several changes further down the order as engine penalties shake up the grid.

Engine changes and new parts being fitted to several cars mean that Carlos Sainz, Lando Norris, Lance Stroll, Isack Hadjar and Fernando Alonso will all take grid penalties for today's race. Here is how that impacts the starting grid for F1's Belgian GP.
