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

The starting grid for the F1 2024 British Grand Prix has been established after 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 of Alpine would start at the back of the grid due to a full power unit change. However, the wet conditions at Silverstone left a lot to be determined heading into qualifying.

The first quarter began with the drivers using intermediate tyres. The weather was unpredictable, with the sun shining on one part of the racetrack and ominous dark clouds loomed over another part, signaling the possibility of rain. Valtteri Bottas was the first 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 additional rain at the end of Q1 led the drivers to quickly line up to return to the track and set lap times. However, as the track dried 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.

The intriguing Q3 session was set up with both Astons and Alex Albon’s Williams making it to the top 10. Haas driver Nico Hulkenberg also made it through, while Max Verstappen was able to continue despite carrying damage from his trip to the Copse gravel in Q1.

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

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