A champion crowned as rivals fight for pride – What to expect at the Qatar GP
“F1 is returning to the Lusail International Circuit in Qatar for the second Qatar Grand Prix. Max Verstappen is aiming to secure his third title and his championship victory seems inevitable, given his dominant performance this season. However, it is unfortunate that the title might be sealed on Saturday during the Sprint, as his rivals have not been able to challenge him. Verstappen’s teammate, Sergio Perez, needs to bounce back after a disappointing outing in Japan in order to secure second place in the Drivers’ championship. Red Bull is hoping for a one-two finish, which they have not achieved before in F1. Lewis Hamilton, on the other hand, is closing in on the top two and has been hindered by the progress made by Ferrari and McLaren. Carlos Sainz secured a victory for Ferrari in Singapore, and McLaren has been performing exceptionally well since their upgrade package. McLaren is expected to challenge Red Bull in Qatar. Additionally, Logan Sargeant, the American driver for Williams, is still uncertain about his future in F1 as he is the last to secure his place on next year’s grid.”
