This is the starting grid for the 2026 F1 Belgian GP

While Kimi Antonelli sailed to pole position at the Formula 1 Belgian Grand Prix, there is a raft of changes to the order behind the Mercedes driver.

Engine changes up and down the grid mean that Lando Norris, Lance Stroll, Isack Hadjar and Fernando Alonso will all take grid penalties for tomorrow's race. Here is how that impacts the starting grid for F1's Belgian GP.
