Norris Sets Record Time to Earn Pole in Monaco
- Lando Norris set a new Monaco qualifying lap record of 1:09.954 to claim pole position ahead of Charles Leclerc and Oscar Piastri on Saturday.
- Norris overcame several weeks of qualifying frustrations, including a crash in Saudi Arabia, while trying to reduce Piastri's 13-point championship lead.
- Leclerc, Monaco GP winner last year, lost a chance at a fourth home pole, while Max Verstappen started fourth after Lewis Hamilton received a three-place penalty.
- Hamilton's penalty resulted from impeding Verstappen during qualifying due to a team radio miscommunication, dropping him from fourth to seventh on the grid.
- The Monaco race remains highly dependent on qualifying because of difficult overtaking and a new mandatory two pit-stop rule increases strategic uncertainty.
