Two races from the end of the 2021 Formula 1 season, Lewis Hamilton shines, wins the Grand Prix of Qatar and narrows the points gap in the championship.
Unlike Brazil, Lewis Hamilton is enjoying a perfect and quiet weekend in Qatar. Since qualifying, the Mercedes driver has not left the top of the table. He repeated the feat in the race by leaving no chance to Max Verstappen, bruised by his penalty of 5 places on the starting grid.
Result, Lewis Hamilton wins a second race in a row and narrows the gap to 8 points. The fight will be intense for the last two races of the season!
Among the surprises, we find the Alpine who confirm their good form at Losail. And in particular Fernando Alonso who takes advantage of the situation to obtain a new podium in Formula 1. But this could not have been possible without the pre-race penalties, without the problems of other cars suffering from punctures, with the tires which are falling. degrade, but do not lose performance. Or even with the virtual safety car which intervened at the end of the race.
However, in the disappointments, we see the Ferraris who were promising after the free practice 3, but who failed to keep pace after the weekend. Or the Alpha Tauri who seemed pretty quick in qualifying, but lost everything in the race.
Here is the final ranking of the 2021 Formula 1 Qatar Grand Prix:
