Gasly takes pole as 2026 Italian GP grid reshuffles on penalties
Pierre Gasly starts from pole for Alpine after qualifying for the 2026 Italian Grand Prix, but the rest of the grid is shuffled by penalties: Kimi Antonelli, Alex Albon and Liam Lawson move to the back due to power-unit changes, while Oscar Piastri incurs a three-place grid drop for impeding Lawson; the provisional starting grid currently has George Russell, Charles Leclerc, and Lewis Hamilton behind Gasly, with Max Verstappen fifth and the rest of the field following.
