Qatar's Lusail is the next stop for the 2023 Formula 1 season with the Qatar Airways Qatar Grand Prix, the venue where Max Verstappen can't wait to get his hands on his third world champion title.
Verstappen's third world champion title became official after placing third in the F1 Sprint match where Oscar Piastri earned the pole position privilege after his first Sprint win while Lando Norris placed 2nd. However, before the main event, Carlos Sainz of Ferrari will not take part in the race due to a fuel system issue on his vehicle.
Come race day, with all lights off, the action in Qatar kicked off with a heartbreak for Lewis Hamilton following an incident with his teammate George Russell. Meanwhile, Nico Hulkenberg was slapped with a 10-second time penalty because he started at the spot that was left vacant by Sainz.
Come Lap 28, Sergio Perez was slapped with a five-second penalty for going off-track while on Lap 42, Logan Sargeant's health condition forced him to retire from the race.
