*Pit lane - Sergio Perez is required to start from the pit lane for using additional power unit elements.
Max Verstappen 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 chances of upsetting Red Bull. Do they have a chance?
Lando Norris' track limit violations in qualifying mean a front row start evaporated, and he will instead begin in 10th, hampering McLaren's hopes. Oscar Piastri will start sixth.
Ferrari - the only team to interrupt Red Bull's winning streak this year - have Charles Leclerc fifth and Carlos Sainz 12th.
Keep an eye on the under pressure Lance Stroll who is way down in 16th.
