Formula 1 Qatar SPRINT RACE 2023 - Results

Since it's a weekend with a Sprint Race, thought I'd do a separate post for the Sprint.

The big news is that... [SPOILER]

Max Verstappen is the 2023 World Drivers Champion!

With 407 points, there aren't enough points left for anyone else, mainly Sergio Perez, to knock him off P1. This is Max's 3rd WDC in a row.

Redbull Honda wraps up the season with both the World Constructors Championship (in Japan) and now the WDC. I say "wraps up," yet there are 6 Grands Prix and 2 Sprint Races to go.

And on to the Sprint Race Results:

    Curious to see what the FIA and Pirelli do about the tire situation for tomorrow. Will the FIA impose restrictions on the number of laps? If so, will some teams even have enough tires to complete...
