Red Bull’s Max Verstappen claimed his third World Drivers’ Championship title in Qatar on Saturday.
Now with three titles, he has matched the number of championships of F1 legends Jack Brabham, Jackie Stewart, Niki Lauda, Nelson Piquet, and Ayrton Senna.
Meanwhile, number two contender for the WDC title and his teammate Sergio Perez needed a top 3 finish to keep his championship campaign alive for another day. “He did very well. I tried everything I could to try to catch up but we came short at the end,” he said post-race. The tricky Losail Circuit also saw AlphaTauri’s substitute driver Liam Lawson and Williams’ Logan Sargeant lose control and spun into the gravel which caused the deployment of a safety car on Lap 1 and Lap Lap 4, respectively.
With Russell shielding him from direct attacks from Verstappen, and with the number of safety cars deployed throughout the 19-lap race, these helped Piastri hold on to his P1 and capture his first-ever F1 career win.
