F1 Qatar GP results: Final classification with penalties applied
The Qatar Grand Prix starts at 7pm local time on Sunday, with Lando Norris having a chance to secure his first F1 world championship.
Norris heads into the race with a 22-point lead over his teammate Oscar Piastri, and Max Verstappen is still in the title race, trailing Norris by 25 points.
If Norris wins the race, he will clinch the championship regardless of his rivals’ performances, but Piastri has been impressive throughout the weekend and holds the pole position.
The official classification for the 2025 Qatar Grand Prix will be available after the 57-lap race concludes, with the FIA confirming the finishing order later on Sunday evening.
In a significant rule change for 2025, the fastest lap point has been removed to prevent drivers from tactically pitting for fresh tyres to secure the extra point, as seen in past seasons.
Stay tuned for the exciting race to see if Piastri can defend his position against Norris or if Norris will become the 11th F1 drivers’ champion from the UK.
