F1 Sprint Results: Qatar Grand Prix 2023 times as Perez DNF seals Verstappen world championship
Max Verstappen sealed his third Formula 1 world championship in as many years during the Qatar Grand Prix sprint race, after the Dutchman came home in second.
McLaren star Oscar Piastri claimed victory in the shortened format of Sunday's feature race, as the 22-year-old roared back to life after a fast start from Mercedes' George Russell on the soft tyre.
Yet Verstappen, who initially only needed to finish inside the top six to seal his third successive title, was handed the drivers' championship after Sergio Perez crashed out of the sprint race following a collision with Nico Hulkenberg.
