"Lando Norris, Max Verstappen and Oscar Piastri are set for an epic Formula 1 title decider after Verstappen threw a spanner in the works for McLaren by winning the Qatar Grand Prix. Verstappen took advantage of a questionable strategy call from McLaren to claim victory from third on the grid, with Piastri second and Norris back in fourth behind the Williams of Carlos Sainz."
"Norris remains the favourite, although what had looked like a comfortable 30-point lead over Piastri and a 42-point lead over Verstappen pre-double DQ in Las Vegas has been whittled down. Following a disappointing weekend for Norris in Qatar -- with Piastri winning the sprint race and Verstappen the main event -- Norris is 12 points ahead of Verstappen, and 16 ahead of his teammate Piastri."
Max Verstappen won the Qatar Grand Prix after McLaren made a questionable strategy call, passing from third on the grid. Oscar Piastri finished second and Lando Norris finished fourth behind Carlos Sainz. The results reduce Norris's lead to 12 points over Verstappen and 16 points over Piastri. Twenty-five points remain available at the Abu Dhabi finale at Yas Marina. Norris clinches the title if Verstappen does not outscore him by 13 points and Piastri by 17. A podium finish for Norris guarantees the championship regardless of rivals' results.
