Lando Norris took the first pole position of the 2025 Formula One season and will be joined on the front row by McLaren teammate Oscar Piastri for the Australian Grand Prix on Sunday.

For Norris, he believes pole position came down to a willingness to take “a good amount of risks.” Asked in the FIA Press Conference after qualifying about whether he expected a “stronger challenge” from Ferrari, Norris spoke at length about just what it takes to find the time you need as a driver.

Lando Norris said he was “not getting ahead” of himself, despite making the perfect start to the new Formula One season in Melbourne. The McLaren driver topped all three qualifying sessions to grab the first pole of the year from team-mate Oscar Piastri as McLaren finally showed their full hand.
