Formula 1’s final two weeks of the season bring the spectacle back to the Middle East. With Max Verstappen having already secured his fourth consecutive Drivers’ Championship, attention shifts to the battle for the Constructors’ title. McLaren currently leads Ferrari and Red Bull, and with 103 points still up for grabs, the stakes remain high.
The penultimate round of the longest-ever Formula 1 season kicks off in Qatar, marking the sixth weekend this year to feature the Sprint format. The contrast between this race and the season finale in Las Vegas couldn’t be starker. Though both are night events set near vast deserts, their characteristics diverge significantly. Las Vegas presented a street circuit with slow to medium-speed corners and temperatures barely above 10°C. In contrast, Qatar offers a permanent track with faster, flowing corners and balmy conditions around 25°C. A journey of 13,000 kilometers and an 11-hour time difference separates the two events, but they both promise excitement as the season draws to a close.
