Verstappen wins Qatar GP; Norris lead shrinks to 12 points.
Max Verstappen won the Qatar Grand Prix after McLaren's crucial strategy blunder under a safety car on lap seven, beating Oscar Piastri to victory while championship leader Lando Norris finished fourth. The result narrows Norris's title lead to just 12 points over Verstappen and 16 over Piastri, forcing a three-way championship decider at the Abu Dhabi season finale next weekend where Verstappen can still claim his fifth consecutive title.
