*Pit lane - Sergio Perez is required to start from the pit lan💃e for using additional power unit🐷 elements.
Max Verstappe⭕n will begin the F1 Qatar Grand Prix on pole position.
The two Mercedes drivers are right behind him but the team ꦺhave played down their chanc🧸es of upsetting Red Bull. Do they have a chance?
Lando Norri💯s' track limit violations in qualifying mean a front row start evaporated, and he will instead ൲begin in 10th, hampering McLaren's hopes. Oscar Piastri will start sixth.
Ferr❀ari - the only team to interrupt Red Bull's winning streak this year - have Charles Leclerc fifth and Carlos 🌜Sainz 12th.
Keep an eyꦦe on the under pressure Lance Stroll who is way down 🐎in 16th.
