F1 Spanish Grand Prix 2025 results: Final classification with penalties applied
The FIA has confirmed the final classification for the Spanish Grand Prix, with Max Verstappen receiving a 10-second time penalty for a collision with George Russell.
Verstappen’s penalty pushed him from fifth to 10th place, dealing a blow to his championship hopes as Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris finished first and second, respectively.
Charles Leclerc secured his third podium of the season by finishing third, while Russell claimed fourth after his Mercedes teammate retired due to a power unit issue.
The race saw only 19 cars start, with Lance Stroll absent due to wrist and hand pain, despite participating in qualifying.
Additionally, the 2025 season introduces a rule change removing the fastest lap point, previously awarded to drivers who finished in the top 10 and set the fastest lap.
Max Verstappen is the current reigning F1 world champion, having clinched his fourth drivers’ championship last year.
