The 2025 Qatar Grand Prix flipped the script. Red Bull’s Max Verstappen stormed back to win under the lights in Doha, keeping the title fight alive. McLaren looked strong but a brutal strategy error cost them big. Pole-sitter Oscar Piastri had to settle for second and Lando Norris limped home P4. Meanwhile, Carlos Sainz Jr. scored a surprise podium for Williams, and Mercedes kept ticking over.
