The provisional F1 starting grid has been established for Sunday's Qatar Grand Prix at the Lusail International Circuit, following official confirmation from the FIA.

Oscar Piastri achieved the double in Qatar, securing sprint and main race pole position alongside a commanding sprint race victory.

The Aussie needs to beat McLaren team-mate Lando Norris on Sunday to remain in the F1 title fight, with the British driver lining up next to Piastri in second on the grid.

Max Verstappen couldn't trouble the two McLarens in qualifying, but managed to secure third in what is set up to be a thrilling first lap on Sunday evening.

Here is the official starting grid for Sunday's Qatar Grand Prix.
