- Lando Norris secured pole position at the Monaco Grand Prix on May 24, 2025, breaking the track record with a time of 1 minute, 9.954 seconds.
- Norris overcame a challenging stretch in qualifying, which included an incident in Saudi Arabia recently, and aimed to reduce the 13-point deficit to his teammate Oscar Piastri in the championship standings.
- Norris narrowly beat local favorite Charles Leclerc, who was denied a fourth Monaco career pole, while Piastri qualified third and Max Verstappen started fourth after a penalty to Lewis Hamilton.
- Norris expressed relief at securing his first pole position since the Australian Grand Prix, saying it was long overdue, while Piastri commented that the outcome of the event remains unpredictable for everyone involved.
