Four-time World Champion Max Verstappen (Red Bull) scored his ninth victory of the season by winning the Qatar Grand Prix at the Lusail International Circuit. Charles Leclerc (Ferrari) and Oscar Piastri (McLaren) completed the podium.
The race was chaotic, marked by numerous penalties and incidents, including Lando Norris receiving a 10-second penalty for ignoring a yellow flag, Lewis Hamilton incurring a jump-start penalty and a drive-through penalty for speeding in the pit lane. Notably, Hamilton and Leclerc suffered left-front tire punctures after running over debris on the track, which prompted the deployment of the safety car.
