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.

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 established that Pierre Gasly of Alpine would start from the back of the grid due to a full power unit change. However, the qualifying had a lot of uncertainties due to the wet conditions at Silverstone.

The first quarter started with the drivers using intermediate tyres, as the sun shone over one section of the track while dark clouds loomed over other areas, indicating a possibility of 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 prompted the drivers to line up quickly to get back on the track and set lap times. As the track began to dry, Perez quickly fell to the back of the pack.

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 with both Astons and Alex Albon’s Williams making it to the top 10, along with Haas driver Nico Hulkenberg. Meanwhile, Max Verstappen was dealing with damage from a trip to the gravel at Copse in Q1, but managed to continue.

In Q3’s first runs, George Russell, Lando Norris, and Lewis Hamilton, all British racers, occupied the top three spots. However, there was still another run at Silverstone that could potentially change the standings.

Norris had to withdraw from his final lap, but Russell managed to outpace Hamilton to earn his inaugural home pole at Silverstone. This also contributed to an all-British top three at Silverstone for Sunday’s race.
