This is the starting grid for the 2026 F1 Italian Grand Prix

Despite their qualifying positions, Kimi Antonelli (Mercedes) and Alex Albon (Williams) have both been sent to the back of the grid as a result of penalties due to power unit changes.

Oscar Piastri has been given a three-place grid penalty for impeding Lawson in qualifying.

Fernando Alonso will start from pit lane after an engine change between qualifying and the race.

Liam Lawson will also start from the pits after a rear wing change between qualifying and the race. He also took an engine penalty after new power unit parts were added to his Red Bull.
