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 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, it was already established that Pierre Gasly from Alpine would start from the back of the grid due to a full power unit change. However, a lot remained uncertain leading into the qualifying round, especially considering the wet conditions at Silverstone.

The initial phase of Q1 saw the drivers begin with intermediate tyres, as the circuit was partially sunlit and partially under dark clouds, implying a potential rain threat. Valtteri Bottas was the first to take a risk and drove 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 towards the end of Q1 prompted the drivers to hurry onto the track to set lap times. As the track dried up, Perez quickly fell behind the rest 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 led to an intriguing Q3 session, with both Astons, Alex Albon’s Williams, and Haas driver Nico Hulkenberg making it to the top 10. Despite sustaining damage from his trip to the gravel at Copse in Q1, Max Verstappen was able to continue.

The initial runs in Q3 at Silverstone yielded an all-British top three, featuring George Russell, Lando Norris, and Lewis Hamilton. However, with another run still to occur, this ranking could potentially change.

Norris was forced to abandon his final lap, while Russell managed to fend off a quicker lap from Hamilton. This allowed Russell to secure his first-ever home pole position at Silverstone, and contribute to an all-British top three for Sunday’s race at Silverstone.
