See where each driver is starting on the grid for the third round of the 2024 F1 season, the Australian GP
In the 2024 Formula 1 Australian Grand Prix qualifying, Max Verstappen secured his third-straight pole position, edging out Ferrari’s Carlos Sainz and McLaren’s Lando Norris in a thrilling Q3 shootout. Red Bull’s day was slightly tainted, as Sergio Perez received a three-place grid drop for impeding Nico Hulkenberg, promoting Norris to third on the grid. The revised starting grid sees Verstappen in pole, followed by Sainz, Norris, Leclerc, and Piastri in the top five. Despite some setbacks, Yuki Tsunoda impressed by qualifying eighth, ahead of both Aston Martins and even Lewis Hamilton, who will start 11th. Meanwhile, Alex Albon, who replaced Logan Sargeant, qualified 12th after a challenging Friday practice session.
