How Mercedes can stop Verstappen domination in the Qatar GP
The 2023 Qatar Grand Prix presents an unprecedented situation for Formula 1, with potential new tyre rules to prevent punctures and crashes at the Losail venue. The decision on these rules will be made after a meeting between the FIA, Pirelli, F1, and the teams. With limited data available, predictions for the race are difficult. The qualifying controversy over track limits has affected Max Verstappen’s chances, as his main rival Sergio Perez starts 13th. Mercedes now lacks a rear gunner, increasing Verstappen’s vulnerability. The choice of starting tyres for the top three starters could be crucial in determining the race outcome.
