Starting grid for today’s F1 Qatar Grand Prix: How the race will begin
Max Verstappen will start the F1 Qatar Grand Prix on pole position, with the Mercedes drivers closely behind. However, the Mercedes team has downplayed their chances of beating Red Bull. Lando Norris, due to track limit violations, will now start in 10th place, which is a setback for McLaren. Oscar Piastri will begin in sixth position. Ferrari, the only team to challenge Red Bull’s winning streak this season, has Charles Leclerc in fifth and Carlos Sainz in 12th. It is worth noting that Lance Stroll is under pressure, as he is starting way down in 17th place.
