F1 starting grid: What is the grid order for the 2024 Brazilian GP?

Lando Norris is on pole for the Brazilian Grand Prix after an incredibly chaotic qualifying session at the Interlagos circuit.

He will be joined on the front row by Mercedes driver George Russell in a very mixed up grid in Brazil. Only 19 drivers started the race as Williams announced they were unable to fix Alex Albon’s car in time following a big shunt.

After the all-British front row it will be two drivers who are operating in some very lofty positions with Yuki Tsunoda and Esteban Ocon forming a shock second row on the Interlagos grid.

Directly behind them will be Liam Lawson, who also massively impressed in the crazy session, and Charles Leclerc in P6 who was struggling for pace throughout.

Fernando Alonso and Lance Stroll both qualified in the top 10 on paper, but both could be facing pit lane starts after they all crashed out. Alex Albon, who had qualified P7, would actually miss the Grand Prix altogether due to the damage sustained to his car following a big crash at the Senna esses. Williams were simply unable to fix his car in time.

Max Verstappen, meanwhile, will start in P17 after the timing of the red flag follow Lance Stroll’s crash in Q2 ensured he was unable to improve on his time and rescue the situation.
