Qatar Grand Prix: Verstappen celebrates his title, Hamilton misses a great opportunity... The tops and flops

TOPS

Crowned world champion on Saturday for the third time in a row, Max Verstappen was keen to celebrate his title with a victory on Sunday, and that is what he did. He managed the start then his tires and finally had a very quiet race without seeing many people. 14th success of the season and 49th of his career. The Dutchman was once again imperial.

We left the orange cars on a double podium in Japan with second place for Lando Norris and third for Oscar Piastri and well, nothing changed in Qatar. McLaren is still doing well. The Australian shone on Saturday by winning the sprint and confirmed this with his second place on Sunday. Concerning Norris, third, the Briton signs a third podium in a row. McLaren confirms weekend after weekend. Is victory possible before the end of the season?

For the first time this season, the Italian team placed its two drivers in the points. A breath of fresh air for Alfa Romeo which suffered enormously this year with a failed car but Valtteri Bottas' eighth place and Zhou Guanyu's tenth in Qatar are good.

FLOPS

Third on the grid, the Briton knew he had a chance to play this Sunday. On an aggressive strategy with soft tires at the start, Lewis Hamilton got off to a very good start but at the first corner he did not leave enough space for George Russell, his teammate. Result ? The two Mercedes clashed and Hamilton retired. Russell saved the furniture by coming back but the German brand should have done much better.

If Alfa Romeo raised its head in Qatar, this is still not the case for Alpha Tauri which remains the worst team this season. The record is still bad this weekend for the sister team of Red Bull with the 15th position of Yuki Tsunoda and the 17th of Liam Lawson. With only five points on the clock, the season is a long ordeal for Alpha Tauri.
