F1 starting grid: What is the grid order for the 2024 Italian Grand Prix?

The F1 starting grid has been set following qualifying for the Italian Grand Prix at Monza.

The iconic circuit near Milan was resurfaced ahead of this year’s race, but what has remained is the fact the Temple of Speed is the fastest circuit of the Formula 1 calendar.

The first part of qualifying saw a shock in the form of the Aston Martin of Lance Stroll dropping out, while the VCARB of Yuki Tsunoda was on the wrong side of the drop zone, a few hundredths behind his team-mate Daniel Ricciardo in the session.

In his first Formula 1 qualifying session, Franco Colapinto missed the chance to improve on his final lap after running wide at the second Lesmo corner, with both Sauber drivers locking out the final row of the grid.

In Q2, Fernando Alonso was knocked out and will start 11th, a result he took to team radio to call “better than expected”, with Ricciardo, Magnussen and the Alpine duo of Pierre Gasly and Esteban Ocon joining him.

George Russell would be third quickest, ahead of the Ferrari drivers of Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz, with Lewis Hamilton sixth, leaving World Championship leader Max Verstappen down in seventh, locking out the fourth row with Red Bull team-mate Sergio Perez.
