Max Verstappen proved why he's Formula 1's reigning champion with a commanding victory at the wild Qatar Grand Prix ! The race had it all: smashed mirrors, multiple crashes, and shock penalties – but nothing could derail Verstappen’s momentum after his recent title win.
Lando Norris, Verstappen’s closest rival, saw his podium hopes vanish after a penalty for ignoring yellow flags dropped him to last place. ‘It was a lot of fun out there,’ Verstappen quipped post-race, celebrating his first dry-weather win since June.
George Russell snagged pole position due to Verstappen’s qualifying penalty but couldn’t hold off the Red Bull rocket . The Dutch driver overtook him at Turn 1 and never looked back, securing his 9th win of 2023.
From Vegas glory to Qatar chaos, Verstappen’s dominance continues. As the F1 circus rolls on, one question remains: Can anyone catch this speedster?
