Watch the clip below & then remember where Ferrari was a year ago at this same race 😬

Do you know how bad it is when you got guys in an Alpine (!) telling you that your car looks bad to drive. But according to Ferrari, the drivers just need to stop complaining.

Lewis Hamilton is still the only driver who has not made it out of Q1 or SQ1 over the last two GP weekends.

Charles Leclerc has outqualified Lewis Hamilton 18 times this season, more than any teammate he’s ever had 🤯 2025: 18-5 vs. Hamilton 2018: 17-4 vs. Ericsson

Lewis Hamilton now has more Q1 eliminations (3) than Fernando Alonso (2) this season.

Charles Leclerc getting this car into Q3 today will be something no one talks about years from now but it’s just a perfect example of his talent.

Oscar Piastri will start a race on pole for the first time in exactly 3 months on Sunday.

Oscar Piastri at the 2025 Qatar GP so far … 2025 SQ - P1 2025 SPR - P1 2025 GP Q - P1 The weekend he needed.

Today’s qualifying confirmed that only two drivers will have taken pole in 4 or more consecutive races in the ground-effect era … • Max Verstappen • Charles Leclerc

😳 We’ve never had a Qatar GP where the top 3 starters on the grid ALL ended up on the podium. This race is typically never straight forward.

No driver has ever won a GP race in Qatar from outside the front row. Big task ahead.

We will either crown a new drivers’ champion on Sunday or the title race will go down to the season finale for the first time since Abu Dhabi 2021 👀

Max Verstappen’s 1449-day reign of being the defending drivers’ champion could officially end today.

Reminder - Here are all the ways a new champion can be crowned today.

1 year ago today, Max Verstappen set the fastest time in Q3 in Qatar but lost pole position after being given a one-place grid penalty for "driving unnecessarily slowly."

The only grand slam in Qatar belongs to Max Verstappen (2023). Win ✅ Pole ✅ Led Every Lap ✅ Fastest Lap ✅
