Formula 1 qualifying gets underway at the 2024 Qatar Grand Prix today (Saturday, November 30, local time) as McLaren and Ferrari vie for the constructors' championship.

Whilst Max Verstappen sealed the drivers' title last weekend at the Las Vegas GP, Red Bull have a huge task ahead of them if they want to win the constructors'.

The Milton-Keynes based outfit tumbled down to third in the constructors' following a strong result from Ferrari at the US and Mexican Grands Prix, and have failed to return to the championship fight since.

Red Bull's struggle in the constructors' can be tied, in part, to Sergio Perez's inability to score consistently for the team in recent races, with the Mexican acquiring a mere eight points in the past four races.

McLaren, Ferrari and Red Bull will all battle it out for pole position out under the floodlights in Qatar, but could Mercedes disrupt their fight after a 1-2 last time in Las Vegas?

Can McLaren keep their hold on the constructors' trophy in Qatar?
