F1 Sprint Race Starting Grid for the United States GP 2024: ‘Checo’, far from the pole; what position does he start?
Mexican driver ‘Checo’ Pérez failed to secure a top 10 start in the Sprint classification at the 2024 United States Grand Prix, finishing in 11th place after struggling throughout the season.
The excitement of Formula 1 returns as the 2024 season approaches its conclusion with the United States Grand Prix held at the Circuit of the Americas in Austin, Texas. This weekend is notably unique as it features not one but two races, including a Sprint race. ‘Checo’ Pérez, a prominent Mexican driver who has faced challenges this season, aimed to improve his standings but unfortunately fell short during the qualifying session.
In the Sprint classification, ‘Checo’ did not perform as hoped and finished outside the top 10, landing in the 11th position. This continues the pattern of struggles that have plagued him throughout the season, particularly the so-called ‘Q2 curse’ which refers to his repeated inability to progress beyond the second qualifying round. Such a performance reflects the challenges he has faced, impacting his strategies and the potential outcomes for both himself and his team.
As the season progresses towards the highly anticipated Mexican Grand Prix, 'Checo' Pérez's performance and position will be closely watched by fans and analysts alike. His need for redemption in the Sprint race is intensified by the stakes of competing on home soil in Mexico later this year. The results in Austin will be crucial not only for his confidence but also for the overall dynamics of the championship race.
