After winning the pole position, Lewis Hamilton easily managed to celebrate in Qatar.
The race on the track in Lusail did not provide any excitement, and the fact that Hamilton was not endangered during the race speaks in favor of that.
After a good start, the Briton stayed in the leading position, and Verstappen managed to break through to second place even after the penalty after the qualifications – moving five places backward.
The fantastic race was driven by Fernando Alonso, who managed to win third place with a fantastic strategy, the first podium for the Spaniard since returning to the Formula 1 championship. Alonso found himself on the podium for the first time since 2014 when he raced in Hungary.
The impression is that Sergio Perez could have reached the third position in the race, but the bad assessment of Red Bull cost him the podium.
At the end of the race, we saw several tire failures, more precisely at Bottas and Latifi, and both of them gave up the race.
The Ferrari duo also drove a solid race, and Carlos Sainz managed to keep the seventh position after a bad start, while Leclerc broke through to the eighth position.
The difference in the championship between Hamilton and Verstappen is now eight points, and there are two more races left until the end.
Who do you think will win the title in the driver’s competition this season?
