Liam Lawson finishes 14th as Max Verstappen wins chaotic Qatar Grand Prix

Liam Lawson finished 14th at the chaotic Qatar Grand Prix, where Max Verstappen secured his ninth win of the season. The race featured multiple yellow flags, safety cars, and five retirements, complicating Lawson's efforts. Despite a 10-second penalty for an early incident, Lawson improved from 16th in the sprint race to 14th. His teammate, Yuki Tsunoda, finished just ahead in 13th, but both drivers failed to score points, leaving their team in eighth place in the constructors' standings. Ferrari's Charles Leclerc took second, while McLaren remains in the lead for the constructors' championship. The final race of the season will take place in Abu Dhabi next week, where Lawson will conclude his six-race stint.
