Author of an almost perfect season, Max Verstappen should win his third consecutive world title this weekend during the Qatar Grand Prix, 17th round of the F1 season contested at Lusail. The Dutchman could be crowned in the sprint race on Saturday.
Verstappen, whose Red Bull team has already won the constructors’ title since the Japanese Grand Prix on September 24, has so far 13 victories, including a record ten in a row, in 16 races and has 177 points ahead of his Mexican teammate Sergio Pérez with 180 points remaining at stake before the end of the season.
Barring disaster, the Dutchman will therefore leave the emirate with a third crown in his pocket: to postpone the deadline, Pérez is condemned to a flawless performance on Saturday during the sprint and Sunday during the Grand Prix, two races which will be contested at night , combined with a big poor performance from the reigning double world champion.

A combination of circumstances which seems very improbable as the Dutchman is regular at the wheel of the RB19. “It’s good to come to Qatar with the constructors’ title already in your pocket,” said Verstappen. The circuit is very pleasant here but it will be a difficult weekend due to the heat, which could make the races interesting. I can win the championship in the sprint and that is my goal. I hope it will be a weekend I will remember for a long time! »
