Max Verstappen claimed the Formula One championship on Saturday and on Sunday he won his 14th race of the season -- this time at the Qatar Grand Prix.
Max Verstappen is the Formula One champion again. He isn't easing off. A day after clinching his third title in a sprint race, it was clear the celebrations had taken nothing out of Verstappen's pace as he cruised to his 14th Grand Prix win of the season in familiar style at the Qatar Grand Prix on Sunday.
Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris finished second and third in a double podium finish for McLaren. 'I think what made the race was my first stint, and after that I could just manage my pace, making sure that the tires were in a good window,' Verstappen said. 'But the McLarens were quick again today. I had to push for it. It’s definitely a tough race out there.
American driver Logan Sargeant retired from the race on lap 40 of 57 after feeling unwell and being told over the radio by his Williams team engineer that there would be 'no shame' in stopping. Williams said Sargeant had suffered 'intense dehydration' and had raced despite having been ill earlier in the week. He was assessed and cleared by the medical team at the track, Williams added.
