Red Bull’s Max Verstappen produced a flawless drive at the Qatar Grand Prix to secure a crucial victory and set up a three-way title showdown next weekend in Abu Dhabi.

The Dutchman entered the race with a critical task on his shoulders, needing to finish ahead of championship leader Lando Norris to avoid being eliminated from the title contention.

Having started the race in third behind Norris, the reigning champion made a clean start and got past the McLaren driver right at the first corner of the opening lap, clearing the way for himself to chase down race leader Oscar Piastri.

The race turned on its head several laps later when Nico Hulkenberg and Pierre Gasly collided on lap 7, prompting a perfectly timed safety car period to allow teams to commit to the two mandated 25-lap tire stints.

Everyone pitted during the safety car period except for the McLarens – a strategy Norris questioned before being told over team radio, “They have lost all of their flexibility for the remainder of the race.”

The gamble backfired however and opened the door for Verstappen to snatch a flawless victory with a margin of 7.995s ahead of Piastri, who slipped to second.

Piastri voiced his frustration over team radio following the race, saying, “Speechless. I don’t have any words.”

Norris ended up in fourth after failing to pass the Williams of Carlos Sainz, who delivered a fantastic drive to secure his second podium of the season in third.

The Briton now leads the championship by just 12 points over Verstappen, who has climbed to second in the standings, while Piastri sits 16 points adrift heading into the season finale in Abu Dhabi next weekend.
