F1 starting grid: What is the grid order for the 2023 Qatar Grand Prix?

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.

兰多诺里斯已经足够快了第二个温馨的e 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.
