Verstappen Brilliant As The FIA Baffles In Qatar - How The Race Unfolded At Lusail
Stuart Codling and Jonathan Noble sit down to review a controversial Qatar Grand Prix. There’s analysis on the brilliance of Max Verstappen, who took his ninth victory of the season, leading from lights to flag after passing inherited pole sitter George Russell off the start line.
But the race was clouded by more stewarding controversy as Alex Albon’s fallen wing mirror led to Valtteri Bottas crashing into it, Lewis Hamilton and Carlos Sainz receiving debris punctures, and a race-changing 10-second stop-and-go penalty for Lando Norris for ignoring double-waved yellows. Jon and Stuart review what many in the paddock described as “Draconian” penalties.
There are also words on an exclusive interview Jon had with FIA President Mohammed Ben Sulayem on Sunday morning and the reports Alpine are about to drop Esteban Ocon early for reserve driver Jack Doohan.
