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

The starting grid for the 2024 British Grand Prix has been established after the F1 qualifying rounds.

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

Before the session, it was confirmed that Pierre Gasly from Alpine would start at the back of the grid due to a complete power unit change. However, with the wet conditions at Silverstone, many outcomes were yet to be determined as we approached qualifying.

The first quarter began with the drivers using intermediate tyres, as the circuit was partly sunny and partly covered with dark clouds indicating possible rain. Valtteri Bottas was the first driver to venture out on slicks.

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 at the end of Q1 led the drivers to quickly get back on track to set lap times. Due to the track drying up, Perez rapidly 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.

This paved the way for an exciting Q3 session. Both Astons, Williams’ Alex Albon, and Haas’ Nico Hulkenberg made it into the top 10. Despite sustaining damage from a trip to the gravel at Copse in Q1, Max Verstappen was able to continue.

In Q3, the initial runs resulted in an all-British top three consisting of George Russell, Lando Norris and Lewis Hamilton. However, there is another run at Silverstone where everything could potentially change.

Norris had to abandon his final lap, however, Russell managed to fend off Hamilton’s faster lap to secure his first-ever home pole at Silverstone. He also ensured an all-British top three at Silverstone for Sunday’s race.
