What went on in low-grip sole Qatar GP practice
Max Verstappen set the fastest time in the only practice session for the Qatar Grand Prix, as he aims to secure his third straight Formula 1 world championship. The session presented challenges, with limited running time before qualifying and a low-grip track due to dust and a resurfacing. Drivers faced difficulties, with several slides and off-track moments, particularly on the hardest Pirelli tires. Verstappen ultimately ended up fastest, with Carlos Sainz of Ferrari in second and Charles Leclerc in third. The pace of this year’s session was significantly slower than last year’s, with qualifying scheduled for later in the day.
