On the latest episode of Motorsport Speak – the podcast by Motorsport Monday and Motorsport Week.com – Dan Lawrence and Jack Oliver Smith review the Formula 1 Qatar Grand Prix.
Max Verstappen and Red Bull’s triumphant victory at the Lusail International Circuit marked a remarkable comeback from a challenging Sprint. Verstappen’s first GP win in dry conditions since June showcased his exceptional performance. The Qatar GP weekend was filled with events including chaos caused by a loose wing mirror, resulting in Sauber’s first points in 2024 with Zhou Guanyu. Ferrari’s pursuit of McLaren in the Constructors’ Championship has closed the gap to 21 points and Alpine rose to sixth place. Esteban Ocon’s exclusion from the season-ending Abu Dhabi GP in favor of 2025 recruit Jack Doohan has made headlines. Additionally, the FIA Formula E World Championship Season 11 is set to begin in Sao Paulo with the new era of GEN3 Evo, available on ITV for UK viewers under a new broadcasting deal.
