F1 qualifying results: Who takes pole position at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix?

The final qualifying hour of the 2025 Formula 1 season has arrived.

And what a show awaits us.

The three remaining title contenders — Lando Norris, Max Verstappen, and Oscar Piastri — are set to fight for pole position along with the rest of the field at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. The stakes could not be higher, as just 16 points separate those three drivers in the chase for the Drivers’ Championship. Norris enters the weekend with the lead in the standings, sitting on 408 points, with Verstappen 12 points back at 396.

Piastri sits on 392 points after leading the standings for most of the season.

Earlier in the week, we walked through the various title permutations, outlining how Norris is the only driver to truly control his destiny in the title race. With a podium finish, the British driver will secure his first Drivers’ Championship, regardless of where Verstappen and Piastri finish. There are other ways Norris can clinch a title in the season finale, but those depend on where his two rivals end up in the pecking order.

Both Verstappen and Piastri have pathways to a title, but would need some help along the way.

Until then, however, there remains a bit of business: Setting the starting grid for the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.

Norris topped the timing sheets in both FP1 and FP2, but it was George Russell who led the way in the final hour of practice, followed by Norris and then Verstappen.

Qualifying gets underway at 9:00 a.m. Eastern, so follow along as the biggest qualifying hour of the season unfolds!
