F1 2024 Las Vegas Grand Prix starting grid with penalties applied

The starting grid for the 2024 Las Vegas Grand Prix has been provisionally set, with Mercedes star George Russell securing a stunning pole position.

Russell came out on top in a very competitive qualifying session around the streets of the iconic US city, putting in an impressive 1:32:312 to fend off Ferrari's Carlos Sainz who is set to start the race in Nevada from P2.

Russell's Mercedes team-mate, Lewis Hamilton, however, will be very disappointed with his qualifying result. After showing good pace throughout the early sessions of the weekend, including topping the charts in both FP1 and FP2, Hamilton could only qualify 10th for the race itself.

Behind Russell and Sainz on the front row, Pierre Gasly and Charles Leclerc locked out the second row, with the Alpine driver emerging as the surprise package of the night in Vegas.

Further down the order, 2024 championship rivals Max Verstappen and Lando Norris will start the grand prix in P5 and P6 respectively.

Verstappen's Red Bull team-mate Sergio Perez, however, will start all the way down in P16 after his sixth Q1 exit of the season.
