The F1 starting grid is in place for the Qatar Grand Prix, with some drivers out of position for Sunday.
The F1 starting grid is in place for the Qatar Grand Prix after a Friday night qualifying session at the Lusail Circuit, with Max Verstappen having taken pole position.
Lando Norris had been quick enough for second place on the night, but two lap time deletions in Q3 saw him unable to clock a legal time in the final part of qualifying, which puts him 10th on the grid provisionally for Sunday’s race. All eyes will be on the Sprint on Saturday, but a reminder that Friday’s qualifying session has set the grid for Sunday’s Qatar Grand Prix, and any penalties to arise from Friday’s session will take effect on Sunday rather than Saturday, with the Sprint seen as a standalone event.
Several drivers fell foul of the track limits around Lusail as there were some surprise exits early in the session, with both Carlos Sainz and Sergio Perez going out in Q2. Lance Stroll, meanwhile, was furious after climbing out of his car with a Q1 exit next to his name around Lusail, appearing to push his trainer out of the way as he looked to leave the Aston Martin garage.Qatar Grand Prix: Max Verstappen storms to pole as Lando Norris stripped of front rowF1 schedule: When is the next F1 race and where is it being held?
