In a thrilling and dramatic Qatar Grand Prix 2024, Max Verstappen took the win after a race that was defined by two mid-race safety cars and a significant penalty handed to McLaren’s Lando Norris.

Oscar Piastri was gifted victory by his McLaren team-mate Lando Norris in Saturday's sprint at the Qatar Grand Prix as the British team consolidated their bid for the constructors' title for the first time since 1998 with a 1-2 triumph.

The McLaren one-two means that the papaya outfit now sit 30 points ahead of closest challengers Ferrari with just two grands prix left in the 2024 season as they hunt a first teams' title since 1998. Russell took the final podium spot in his Mercedes, while the Ferrari s could only manage fourth and fifth.
