F1 starting grid: What is the grid order for the 2024 British Grand Prix?

Following the qualifying round for the 2024 British Grand Prix, the starting grid for F1 has been established.

The F1 starting grid has been put in place following qualifying for the British Grand Prix at Silverstone on Saturday.

Before the session began, it was already clear that Pierre Gasly of Alpine would be starting from the back of the grid due to a full power unit change. However, with wet conditions at Silverstone, there were still many uncertainties going into the qualifying round.

The beginning of Q1 saw the drivers on intermediate tyres, under a sunlit part of the circuit, with dark clouds hanging ominously in other parts, indicating a potential rain threat. Valtteri Bottas was the first driver to venture out on slick tyres.

But the red flag came out for Sergio Perez at Copse, who beached himself in the gravel as he got himself onto the wet part of the track, ran wide and spun around backwards. He waited to try and get pushed back on track, but wasn’t allowed back in, but that was not to be.

The threat of more rain towards the end of Q1 prompted the drivers to quickly line up to return to the track and set lap times. As the track began to dry, Perez swiftly fell to the back of the field.

Q2 saw the track return to more representative conditions, but there was a significant loss to the session as Charles Leclerc was knocked out at the last moment by the Aston Martin of Lance Stroll, with conditions still improving all the time.

An intriguing Q3 session was set up, featuring both Astons and Alex Albon’s Williams, all of whom made it to the top 10. Nico Hulkenberg, the Haas driver, also made it through. Meanwhile, despite sustaining damage from a trip to the gravel at Copse in Q1, Max Verstappen managed to continue.

In Q3’s first runs at Silverstone, George Russell, Lando Norris, and Lewis Hamilton, all British, took the top three spots. However, with one more run to go, these standings could still change.

Norris had to abandon his final lap, however, Russell managed to fend off a quicker lap from Hamilton, securing his first-ever home pole position at Silverstone. This achievement also resulted in an all-British top three at Silverstone for Sunday’s race.
