Max Verstappen emerged victorious in the Qatar Grand Prix, with Lando Norris receiving a 10s stop-go penalty for not slowing down for yellow flags, affecting his race. Verstappen, starting from second, made a perfect start on the dirty side, overtaking polesitter George Russell at the first turn to take the lead. Norris briefly challenged for first but settled for second, only to have his race ruined when Alex Albon lost a mirror on track, leading to a penalty for Norris. Despite finishing 10th with the fastest lap, McLaren’s chances of winning the constructors’ championship this weekend vanished. Verstappen, unchallenged, secured his second victory in three races following his world championship win, with Charles Leclerc finishing second.
