Oscar Piastri delivered a sensational final lap to take pole position for the 2025 Qatar Grand Prix, edging out teammate Lando Norris after a dramatic end to Q3. The McLaren driver surged to the top with a blistering lap, leaving Norris unable to respond after a costly error.
Max Verstappen managed to secure P3 with his final lap but remained 0.264s behind Piastri, limiting the damage despite a challenging session for Red Bull.
In the closing moments, Norris made a rare mistake at Turn 2, running wide and aborting his lap. With the session clock ticking down, he failed to get around in time for another attempt — a setback that could prove crucial.
