F1 starting grid tomorrow: Saudi Arabian Grand Prix qualifying results

The second race of the 2024 Formula 1 calendar has arrived with the Jeddah Corniche Circuit playing host.

The Saudi Arabian Grand Prix holds some intrigue as Max Verstappen and Red Bull seek a second race win despite controversy behind the scenes.

Meanwhile, Ferrari had to switch gears late on. Last week's podium finisher Carlos Sainz came down with appendicitis and had to be replaced by Oliver Bearman, who will make his F1 debut in a pinch.

On Friday, drivers and teams took to the track to set the grid and we're keeping track of it all.

Of course, be aware the grid can change after qualifying because of penalties and other adjustments that are made after the session.

Q1 saw both Kick Sauber and Alpine cars knocked out while the Williams of Logan Sargeant also came up short. Zhou Guanyu struggled to get out for any laps at all in Q1 after a crash in FP3 put his qualifying in jeopardy. When he finally did get out onto the track, it wasn't quickly enough.

Q2 was delayed by a red flag after Nico Hulkenberg's car experienced power issues and the Haas driver had to stop in a run off area. Bearman valiantly challenged for Q3 but he missed out by 0.036 behind Lewis Hamilton.

Q3 went Verstappen's way with his first pole position at Jeddah secured. Charles Leclerc ensured we'll see another Verstappen-Leclerc front row on Saturday. Fernando Alonso hoped to put his Aston Martin on the front row after picking up a tow from Hamilton on his final lap, but he fell just short and settled for fourth on the grid.
