Here’s how the 2024 F1 Canadian GP starting grid looks: Ferrari, in trouble and Alonso sighs

The starting grid for the 2024 F1 Canadian GP is headed by George Russell in pole position after achieving the best time before a Verstappen who followed along with the British.

The Dutchman, with a car that no longer destroys others, in a more even F1 and on a circuit that does not favor the characteristics of red bullDespite this, he achieved a magical turn by climbing the walls and driving to the limit, near the last wall, to beat the time of the thousandth. This allowed Max to start from 2nd position on the starting grid of F1 Canadian GP 2024 with a car in which Pérez had to return, starting too far back (16th) after suffering in Q1.

Norris starts 3rd on the grid, leads one McLarenthat of Piastre (4th) and the RB of Ricciardo (5th).

Alonso, 6th on the Canadian F1 GP starting grid

Fernando Alonso sighed after qualifying. It seems an unrequited love is about to give him the longed-for date, against all odds. Few would have thought that an Aston Martin could fight near pole this year after the start of the season for those in green. And the Asturian finished 6th, but above all, and what made him sigh the most in front of the cameras, only 2 tenths from the best pole time. And when it’s too close, when it’s hot, it hurts more.

but, He snorted, knowing the lost opportunity, or perhaps, more than the lost, what that time could not offer him. If it rains, I know I can try it. But it is how it is.

He has to settle for 6th place on the starting grid of the 2024 F1 Canadian GP. However, the Aston Martin usually has a worse race pace and greater destruction on this course. It is necessary to see if the rain, which should appear in the race, can be a factor that Alonso took in his favor.

Behind him will be faster cars, as he recognized, like the Mercedes of Hamilton (7th) right behind on the starting grid, the two Ferraris or Red Bulls of Pérez.

Hamilton, Sainz, Leclerc and Pérez have to return

Lewis Hamilton is out of a starting grid position for the 2024 F1 Canadian GP. It remains to be seen the speed of the Mercedes race, but in the car that took pole, the 7-time champion did not perform in the final last lap and was 7th. You have to try to come back and take advantage of any option the rain may give you with a different strategy.

For its part, Ferrari experienced a total disaster. They were promised a lot of fun on a circuit that should have been very good for the red ones, but the Italians fell short of expectations and fell into Q2. Leclerc will start 11th and Sainz will do it from 12th place on the starting grid of the 2024 F1 Canadian GP They need to return to their best breakdown and race pace shown in previous appointments. But only a complete reversal of the race due to rain or safety cars could put them in contention.

They start very far, like a ‘Checo’ Pérez starting 16th, very far behind a car that also suffered from Max, but with a different result.
