It will be the first time for the Monegasque driver to start from P1 at tomorrows Australian GP starting grid. Leclerc was the only driver to get below the 1m18s benchmark on the redesigned Albert Park track this year, which is now faster and more challenging. The Ferrari driver isn't backed by his teammate Carlos Sainz this time, who made some errors in his quali laps and will start from P9. Both Red Bulls are right behind Leclerc and might have a better race pace again.

By the end of qualifying an hour and a half later, track temperature had dropped by four degrees. McLaren’s Lando Norris went fastest in the FP3 session earlier this afternoon, ahead of Alpine’s Fernando Alonso: again on the soft tyre. The P Zero White hard and P Zero Yellow medium were also run in FP3. The Pirelli Pole Position Award was given out by two-time MotoGP champion Casey Stoner, from Queensland in Australia. Stoner, who retired from MotoGP at the end of the 2012 season, has also raced on four wheels in V8 Supercars. Leclerc claimed the 11th pole position of his career and his second of the 2022 season, lining up alongside Red Bull’s reigning champion Max Verstappen on the front row. ## F1 Starting Grid 2022 Australian GP | **Pos** | **No** | **Driver** | **Team** | **Lap Time** | **Pole gap** | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 1 | 16 | [Charles Leclerc](https://www.f1-fansite.com/f1-drivers/charles-leclerc-information-statistics/) | [Ferrari](https://www.f1-fansite.com/f1-teams/ferrari-f1-information-statistics/) | 1:17,868 | | | 2 | 1 | [Max Verstappen](https://www.f1-fansite.com/f1-drivers/max-verstappen-information-statistics/) | [Red Bull](https://www.f1-fansite.com/f1-teams/red-bull-racing/) | 1:18,154 | +0,286s | | 3 | 11 | [Sergio Pérez](https://www.f1-fansite.com/f1-drivers/sergio-perez/) | [Red Bull](https://www.f1-fansite.com/f1-teams/red-bull-racing/) | 1:18,240 | +0,372s | | 4 | 4 | [Lando Norris](https://www.f1-fansite.com/f1-drivers/lando-norris-information-statistics/) | [McLaren](https://www.f1-fansite.com/f1-teams/mclaren/) | 1:18,703 | +0,835s | | 5 | 44 | [Lewis Hamilton](https://www.f1-fansite.com/f1-drivers/lewis-hamilton/) | [Mercedes](https://www.f1-fansite.com/f1-teams/mercedes/) | 1:18,825 | +0,957s | | 6 | 63 | [George Russell](https://www.f1-fansite.com/f1-drivers/george-russell-information-statistics/) | [Mercedes](https://www.f1-fansite.com/f1-teams/mercedes/) | 1:18,933 | +1,065s | | 7 | 3 | [Daniel Ricciardo](https://www.f1-fansite.com/f1-drivers/daniel-ricciardo/) | [McLaren](https://www.f1-fansite.com/f1-teams/mclaren/) | 1:19,032 | +1,164s | | 8 | 31 | [Esteban Ocon](https://www.f1-fansite.com/f1-drivers/esteban-ocon-information-statistics/) | [Alpine](https://www.f1-fansite.com/f1-teams/alpine-f1-team/) | 1:19,061 | +1,193s | | 9 | 55 | [Carlos Sainz](https://www.f1-fansite.com/f1-drivers/carlos-sainz-jr-information-statistics/) | [Ferrari](https://www.f1-fansite.com/f1-teams/ferrari-f1-information-statistics/) | 1:19,408 | +1,540s | | 10 | 14 | [Fernando Alonso](https://www.f1-fansite.com/f1-drivers/fernando-alonso/) | [Alpine](https://www.f1-fansite.com/f1-teams/alpine-f1-team/) | - | - | | 11 | 10 | [Pierre Gasly](https://www.f1-fansite.com/f1-drivers/pierre-gasly-information-statistics/) | [AlphaTauri](https://www.f1-fansite.com/f1-teams/scuderia-alphatauri-info-statistics/) | 1:19,226 | +1,358s | | 12 | 77 | [Valtteri Bottas](https://www.f1-fansite.com/f1-drivers/valtteri-bottas-information-statistics/) | [Alfa Romeo](https://www.f1-fansite.com/f1-teams/alfa-romeo-f1-information-statistics/) | 1:19,410 | +1,542s | | 13 | 22 | [Yuki Tsunoda](https://www.f1-fansite.com/f1-drivers/yuki-tsunoda/) | [AlphaTauri](https://www.f1-fansite.com/f1-teams/scuderia-alphatauri-info-statistics/) | 1:19,424 | +1,556s | | 14 | 24 | [Zhou Guanyu](https://www.f1-fansite.com/f1-drivers/guanyu-zhou-info-statistics/) | [Alfa Romeo](https://www.f1-fansite.com/f1-teams/alfa-romeo-f1-information-statistics/) | 1:20,155 | +2,287s | | 15 | 47 | [Mick Schumacher](https://www.f1-fansite.com/f1-drivers/mick-schumacher/) | [Haas](https://www.f1-fansite.com/f1-teams/haas-f1-team-information-statistics/) | 1:20,465 | +2,597s | | 16 | 20 | [Kevin Magnussen](https://www.f1-fansite.com/f1-drivers/kevin-magnussen-information-statistics/) | [Haas](https://www.f1-fansite.com/f1-teams/haas-f1-team-information-statistics/) | 1:20,254 | +2,386s | | 17 | 5 | [Sebastian Vettel](https://www.f1-fansite.com/f1-drivers/sebastian-vettel/) | [Aston Martin](https://www.f1-fansite.com/f1-teams/aston-martin-f1-team-information-statistics/) | 1:21,149 | +3,281s | | 18 | 6 | [Nicholas Latifi](https://www.f1-fansite.com/f1-drivers/nicholas-latifi-info-statistics/) | [Williams](https://www.f1-fansite.com/f1-teams/williams/) | 1:21,372 | +3,504s | | 19 | 18 | \*[Lance Stroll](https://www.f1-fansite.com/f1-drivers/lance-stroll-information-statistics/) | [Aston Martin](https://www.f1-fansite.com/f1-teams/aston-martin-f1-team-information-statistics/) | - | - | | 20 | 23 | \*[Alex Albon](https://www.f1-fansite.com/f1-drivers/alexander-albon-information-statistics/) | [Williams](https://www.f1-fansite.com/f1-teams/williams/) | 1:20,135 | +2,267s | \*Penalty: - Lance Stroll (Aston Martin car 18) received a 3 places grid penalty for causing a collision. - Alexander Albon (Williams car 23) received a 3 places grid penalty for causing a collision during the 2022 Saudi Arabian GP and got disqualified due to fuel regulations, but is allowed to start the race. ### 2022 Australian F1 GP Race Strategy On the face of it, the quickest strategy for the 58-lap race tomorrow is a straightforward medium to hard one-stopper. The characteristics of the soft tyre made it the default choice in qualifying while starting on the medium opens up the widest range of options, with warm and dry weather expected on Sunday. Now that the drivers are no longer obliged to start on their fastest Q2 tyres, there’s a lot more flexibility, which they are all keen to take advantage of. However, there’s still an element of unpredictability. We have an extensively revised circuit around Albert Park with smooth new asphalt, which is constantly evolving. And some of those revisions mean that there are unforgiving walls in close proximity with rapid corners. So a safety car is far from out of the question. That could reset the strategies entirely, opening the door to a two-stopper with perhaps even the soft for a final run, depending on the timing of the pit stops and the race circumstances. **Pirelli's Motorsport Director Mario Isola said:** *"We witnessed a long but exciting qualifying session, with the frontrunners separated by just one-thousandths of a second on more than one occasion, and pole decided in the closing seconds. As expected, the drivers used the soft tyre from start to finish today to take advantage of its extra speed. Not only that, but the drivers were also able to complete more than one flying lap on it to extract the most performance: something they had previously established by running it extensively in free practice earlier this afternoon. It was quite windy then, with a change in the wind direction compared to Friday, which obviously affected aerodynamic performance by making the cars more snappy. What we have seen so far in qualifying shows that it was the right choice to come here with two steps between the soft and the medium compounds, which has enabled the performance gaps between hard, medium and soft to be about equal. Tomorrow should be a one-stop strategy using medium and hard,  but as we saw today, the action here can be quite unpredictable."  * [![](https://www.f1-fansite.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/03-au-quali3-en.jpg)](https://www.f1-fansite.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/03-au-quali3-en.jpg) Share this article [Share on X](https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?text=F1%20Starting%20Grid%202022%20Australian%20Grand%20Prix&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.f1-fansite.com%2Ff1-result%2Ff1-starting-grid-2022-australian-grand-prix%2F&via=wpvkp) [Share on Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.f1-fansite.com%2Ff1-result%2Ff1-starting-grid-2022-australian-grand-prix%2F) [Share on WhatsApp](https://api.whatsapp.com/send?text=F1%20Starting%20Grid%202022%20Australian%20Grand%20Prix%20https%3A%2F%2Fwww.f1-fansite.com%2Ff1-result%2Ff1-starting-grid-2022-australian-grand-prix%2F) [Share on Reddit](https://www.reddit.com/submit?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.f1-fansite.com%2Ff1-result%2Ff1-starting-grid-2022-australian-grand-prix%2F&title=F1%20Starting%20Grid%202022%20Australian%20Grand%20Prix) [Share on Pinterest](https://pinterest.com/pin/create/button/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.f1-fansite.com%2Ff1-result%2Ff1-starting-grid-2022-australian-grand-prix%2F&media=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.f1-fansite.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2022%2F04%2F2022-Australian-Grand-Prix-Wednesday-5-1200x675.jpg&description=F1%20Starting%20Grid%202022%20Australian%20Grand%20Prix) --- ![Leopold](https://www.f1-fansite.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/IMG_17701-1-220x220.jpg) About the author ## [Leopold](https://www.f1-fansite.com/author/leopold-pleijsier/) Leopold Pleijsier founded F1-Fansite.com in 2001 and has followed Formula 1 since the early 1980s.

F1 driver stewards Imo should be experienced ex f1 drivers, only they imo know what its really like... • Enrique Bernoldi – The former F1, Champ Car, IndyCar, WEC and FIA GT1 driver has a wealth of driver experience and has 29 grand prix entries to his name. He remains the driver steward for the second race in a row. Nothing personal against this guy, but hes hardly experienced and his success record is bad in everything hes raced in. Is the Fia really struggling to find enough ex f1 people with EXPERIENCE ? it seems so...000 2.
