The starting grid for the 22nd Abu Dhabi F1 GP has been announced, which will get underway at 22:00 on Sunday 20 November Japan time. Let’s take a look at the changes compared to the qualifying results.
No one changed power units or gearboxes for the last race of the season. However, Daniel Ricciardo was demoted 3 grids due to contact with Kevin Magnussen at the previous round of the Sao Paulo GP, so the line-up from 10th to 13th grids changed.
Ricardo, who had qualified 10th, was demoted to 13th, and Fernando Alonso (Alpine) moved up to 10th on the grid, Yuki Tsunoda (AlphaTauri) in 11th on the grid and Mick Schumacher (Haas) in 12th on the grid. .
Max Verstappen (Red Bull) takes pole position. Teammate Sergio Perez lined up on the front row, second on the grid. It is the first time since 2018 that Red Bull finishes 1-2 in qualifying.
Below is the provisional starting grid. If there is a difference from the official version announced shortly before the final, it will be updated.
