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 started, it was clear that Pierre Gasly from Alpine would be starting from the back of the grid due to a full power unit change. However, the qualifying round at Silverstone, under wet conditions, still had many outcomes to be determined.

The beginning of Q1 saw the drivers on intermediate tyres due to the contrasting weather conditions – sunny in one part of the circuit, with dark clouds looming elsewhere indicating a potential rain threat. Valtteri Bottas, however, was the first driver to take the track 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 rush onto the track to set lap times as quickly as possible. However, as the track started to dry, Perez quickly 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 established a fascinating Q3 session, where both Astons, the Williams of Alex Albon, and Haas driver Nico Hulkenberg all made it into the top 10. Despite carrying damage following his trip to the gravel at Copse in Q1, Max Verstappen was also able to continue.

In Q3’s first runs, George Russell, Lando Norris, and Lewis Hamilton, all British, topped the scoreboard. However, with another run scheduled at Silverstone, everything could change.

Norris had to abandon his final lap, but Russell managed to outpace Hamilton’s faster lap to secure his first-ever home pole position at Silverstone. This achievement also resulted in an all-British top three for Sunday’s race at Silverstone.
