Antonelli charges to pole position in Belgian GP Qualifying

Kimi Antonelli claimed his sixth pole position of the season at the 2026 Belgian Grand Prix, setting a fastest lap of 1m 44.361s to beat Max Verstappen by three-tenths of a second. Lando Norris, who had led after the first Q3 runs, will drop to P13 due to a 10-place grid penalty for exceeding his power unit components allocation. Isack Hadjar qualified 10th but faces a 20-place grid penalty, while Verstappen's final lap was disrupted by a near miss with Hadjar after receiving a tow from his Red Bull teammate.
