Check out the full starting grid for the 2024 F1 British Grand Prix from Silverstone!
For the first time since the 1968 South African Grand Prix, a British one-two-three position was achieved on the grid with George Russell, Lewis Hamilton, and Lando Norris at their home British GP, reminiscent of Jim Clark, Graham Hill, and Jackie Stewart. This historical moment marked Russell’s victory over Hamilton, as Norris dropped his front-row slot due to a last-minute error. Following in fourth was world champion Max Verstappen, who faced significant damage on his RB20 after an off at Copse during a wet/dry Q1. Meanwhile, his team-mate Sergio Perez struggled, finishing only 19th after beaching the Red Bull at Copse. The sole penalty on the grid was awarded to Pierre Gasly, who had a new power unit on his Alpine and consequently started from the last position. Lastly, the full starting grid for the 2024 F1 British Grand Prix is provided below, pending official confirmation by the FIA on Sunday morning.
