Verstappen Wins Qatar Grand Prix, Title Fight Heads to Abu Dhabi
DOHA, Qatar – Max Verstappen edged out Oscar Piastri to claim victory at the Qatar Grand Prix, tightening his grip on the Formula 1 World Championship but leaving the title decision to the final race in Abu Dhabi next week. Lando Norris finished fourth.
The race saw a dramatic start with Verstappen overtaking Norris from third on the grid. A safety car was deployed on Lap 7 after a collision between Nico Hulkenberg and Pierre Gasly, with Hulkenberg retiring from the race. McLaren strategically opted not to pit their cars during the safety car period, committing to a two-stop strategy.
Lance Stroll received a 5-second penalty for speeding in the pit lane, while Oliver Bearman was hit with a 10-second stop-go penalty for an unsafe release, ultimately leading to his retirement.
Carlos Sainz managed to claim the final podium position.
With Verstappen’s victory, the championship now heads to Abu Dhabi for a final showdown.
