US EditionNorris Sets Record Time to Earn Pole in Monaco
- Lando Norris claimed pole position for the 2025 Monaco Grand Prix by setting a new lap record at the circuit with a time just under 1 minute and 10 seconds on Saturday.
- Norris overcame weeks of qualifying struggles and frustration, including a crash in Saudi Arabia last month, as he seeks to reduce teammate Oscar Piastri's 13-point championship lead.
- Charles Leclerc, the local hero and 2024 Monaco GP winner, challenged Norris but finished 0.109 seconds slower, while Max Verstappen, starting fourth, predicted Monaco's layout would be unfavorable to his car.
- Lewis Hamilton was demoted from fourth to seventh on the starting grid following a penalty for blocking Verstappen during qualifying, a situation caused by incorrect information from Ferrari about Verstappen’s lap times.
- Norris's pole position marks a key moment in an often decisive Monaco qualifying, as overtaking is difficult on the narrow, twisty street circuit, making starting position critical for race success.
