Mark Hughes: Qatar GP became a reminder of F1 pre-Pirelli
“to his team saying, ‘Pace is good, tyres are hanging in there, you know.’ And he was right. With the harder compounds fitted, the tyres lasted longer and drivers were able to push harder. This led to multiple pitstops throughout the race, as they tried to balance tyre wear and performance. The intense heat added an extra challenge, making it one of the toughest races the drivers have ever faced.

Overall, the Qatar Grand Prix was a physically demanding and strategically challenging race for all the drivers.”
