With all cars required at
With all cars required at the last minute to make at least three pit stops in the Qatar GP (due to potential problems caused by the circuit kerbs), it seemed as though McLaren-Mercedes, and maybe the factory Mercedes, would suddenly be closer to Red Bull; certainly, in this regime, there was less scope for Red Bull's trademark tyre management. In response, Max Verstappen and his team saved their one new set of Medium Pirellis for their last stint...just in case. And it worked - not that Max needed to worry about the Mercedes: Lewis Hamilton left the track at the first corner and George Russell, as a result of his collision with Lewis, was obliged to make an early pit stop for new tyres. When Max emerged from his last stop, though, he was but 3.7sec ahead of Oscar Piastri's McLaren. On the new tyres, head down, he then set fastest lap and extended the gap to win by nearly five seconds. Oscar and Lando Norris finished second and third, George Russell recovered brilliantly to finish fourth; and Ferrari's Charles Leclerc was a distant fifth after his team-mate, Carlos Sainz, non-started due to a fuel system issue. In all, eighteen of the 20 drivers on Sunday incurred one or more track limit infringement - with some (Lance Stroll, Pierre Gasly, Alex Albon and Sergio Perez) receiving time penalties for multiple offences. Lewis never completed a lap - which left only one other driver blemish-free - the 2023 F1 World Champion, Max Verstappen. Peter Windsor in this video looks back at the day's key moments - and discusses the Hamilton/Russell accident at 06:26.
