2023 Qatar Grand Prix Formula 1 Race Results and standings – Lusail

Here are the complete results from the 2023 Qatar Grand Prix, held at a hot and sweltering Lusail International Circuit.

Red Bull’s Max Verstappen has won the Qatar Grand Prix, capping off the weekend in which he won his third F1 World Championship by coming home a comfortable winner in Lusail.

With the race a deluge of pitstops as the FIA enforced an 18-lap maximum for every tyre stint, Verstappen shrugged off the extra hurdles to lead the race with ease from the moment the red lights went out.

Lewis Hamilton and George Russell collide

The race went wrong immediately for Mercedes at the start, with their two drivers colliding as Lewis Hamilton attempted to swoop around the outside of George Russell. But he misjudged the move as Russell’s position was blocked by Max Verstappen, resulting in the pair colliding.

Hamilton initially blamed Russell, but held his hands up by the time he spoke to the media later.

Russell was able to continue and finish the race, while Hamilton retired on the spot to join Carlos Sainz on the sidelines as the Ferrari was ruled out even before the start due to a fuel systems issue.

The only other retirement was Logan Sargeant, who withdrew with 15 laps to go as he felt unwell due to the intense heat and humidity during the Grand Prix.

With Verstappen coming home the winner, he saw off the challenge of the two Mercedes drivers as Oscar Piastri followed up his Sprint race with a second-place finish with Lando Norris just behind him to claim the final podium place.
