Formula 1: 2024 Australia qualifying updates, full starting lineup

After the 2024 Formula 1 season began with back-to-back Saturday Grands Prix in Bahrain and Jeddah, which were only the second and third Saturday Formula 1 races since 1985, the series is set for its first Sunday race of the year this Sunday at Albert Park Circuit.

The Australian Grand Prix is scheduled to be a 58-lap race around the 14-turn, 3.28-mile (5.279-kilometer) street course in Melbourne, Australia, and qualifying is scheduled to take place on Saturday.

Three-time reigning world champion Max Verstappen won the Australian Grand Prix for the first time last year, and he did so from the pole position.

Note that only 19 drivers are set to compete in this race after Williams' Alex Albon crashed during the practice. Without a backup chassis, the team opted to put Albon in Logan Sargeant's car for the remainder of the weekend, thus sidelining the American from the event, despite the fact that he is not the driver who crashed. Their belief was that Albon gave them a better chance to score points.
