F1 2024 Australian GP starting order with penalties applied
Sergio Perez will have to fight through some traffic on Sunday if he's to assist Max Verstappen in continuing Red Bull's 100% record of 1-2 finishes in the 2024 season.
A penalty for impeding Nico Hulkenberg during qualifying means the Mexican has been pushed down to sixth on the grid, leaving both McLarens and both Ferraris ahead of him.

The Mexican qualified up in third, but will start down in sixth behind Verstappen, Carlos Sainz, Lando Norris, Charles Leclerc and Oscar Piastri.
Mercedes, meanwhile, have a mountain to climb in Sunday's race, with George Russell once again beating team-mate Lewis Hamilton, but will still only line up in seventh. Hamilton didn't manage to get out of Q2 and will start 11th.
