Verstappen claims pole position at Qatar GP as Piastri wins sprint race

aljazeera.com — December 1, 2024 at 02:02 AM UTC

Max Verstappen secured pole position for the Qatar Grand Prix, marking his first pole since June. He edged out George Russell by just 0.055 seconds in qualifying. McLaren's Oscar Piastri won the sprint race, aided by teammate Lando Norris, who ignored team orders. Norris allowed Piastri to take the sprint victory, reflecting their teamwork. This decision came after Norris felt he owed Piastri for a similar gesture in Brazil. George Russell expressed frustration over McLaren's tactics during the race. McLaren now leads Ferrari by 30 points in the constructors' championship. Red Bull's performance declined, with Verstappen finishing eighth and Sergio Perez last. The upcoming races in Qatar and Abu Dhabi will be crucial for the championship standings.
