Max Verstappen secured his ninth Formula 1 victory of the 2024 season in Qatar, overcoming a one-place grid penalty for blocking George Russell in qualifying. Zhou Guanyu and Fernando Alonso also performed strongly, with Alonso’s strategic call proving crucial for his seventh-place finish.
Verstappen delivered yet another masterclass in Qatar to take his ninth F1 victory of the 2024 season. The main blemish on his weekend was a farcical one-place grid penalty for driving too slowly in qualifying and blocking George Russell . Zhou deservedly picked up driver of the day in Qatar. He out-qualified teammate Bottas on merit before driving a strong race to finish in the points.
After that, Bottas fought hard to finish 11th in the end.Williams never quite had pace to finish in the top 10. Albon was tagged into a spin by Stroll on the opening lap, while a switch to the softs after the Safety Car didn’t quite pay off in the end.After a great start, Tsunoda and RB didn’t have the pace of their midfield rivals. Like Albon, going on the softs under the Safety Car didn’t work out.
