2021 Qatar Grand Prix - Losail, Nov 19-21 Sportsbook Motor Sport

[Franco Pinion]

Significant penalties for Max Verstappen - 5 place grid penalty for ignoring double waved yellow flags. Valtteri Bottas - 3 place grid penalty for ignoring single waved yellow flag.

The revised grid now looks like this

 

[Snoops]

Hamilton will probably lead from start to finish although Alonso being on softs could make for an interesting first stint.

 

[Fraser]

Great start from Max!

 

[Franco Pinion]

Good start from Max, and Hamilton gets away clean

 

[Snoops]

They're reporting front wing damage for Max.

 

[Fraser]

Max will have to change that wing in the pit

 

[Franco Pinion]

Getting a decent amount of overtakes in the midpack, just need to ignore the two out in front.

 

[Snoops]

Mercedes not being done on strategy. Just copying what Red Bull do.

 

[Snoops]

Mercedes has found their balance and are faster on the turns now. If things stand like this, they will probably win the lot. Abu Dhabi has fast turns as well, not sure about Jeddah

 

[Fraser]

Unreal pace from the front 2, they are laughably ahead of the rest.
