Finally, the much-anticipated opening race of the 2024 F1 season is here, and it's three-time world champion Max Verstappen who will get his season underway from pole.

The Ferraris of Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz claimed the second and fourth positions on the grid, with George Russell just about managing to split them.

Meanwhile, Lewis Hamilton, in his final year at Mercedes before he joins Ferrari in 2025, had to settle for the eighth spot. Don't expect him to finish the race there, though.
