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 established that Pierre Gasly of Alpine would start from the back of the grid due to a complete power unit change. However, the wet conditions at Silverstone meant there was still much to be determined going into the qualifying round.

The beginning of Q1 saw the drivers on intermediate tyres, with sunlight illuminating one part of the circuit while dark clouds loomed elsewhere, suggesting a potential rain threat. Valtteri Bottas was the initial 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 to the drivers lining up to get back on track as quickly as possible and 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 led to an interesting Q3 session. Both Astons, Williams’ Alex Albon, and Haas’ Nico Hulkenberg had made it to the top 10. Meanwhile, Max Verstappen had suffered damage after his trip to the gravel at Copse in Q1, but he was able to continue.

The initial races in Q3 at Silverstone saw an all-British top three with George Russell, Lando Norris, and Lewis Hamilton. However, with another round to go, the rankings could potentially change.

Norris had to withdraw from his final lap, yet Russell managed to resist a quicker lap from Hamilton, securing his first ever home pole at Silverstone. This also led to an all-British top three at Silverstone for the race on Sunday.
