Verstappen Dominates Qatar GP, ⁣schmitz Earns Top Marks; Ferrari Faces Total Failure

Lusail, Qatar – ‌November 30, 2025 – Max Verstappen ⁤secured a commanding victory at the Qatar Grand prix today, further solidifying his championship lead, while ‍Red Bull Racing’s strategic brilliance, spearheaded by ⁢Hannah Schmitz, ‍earned widespread acclaim. In⁤ stark contrast, Ferrari endured ‍a‍ calamitous race, failing to score a single point and prompting‌ immediate questions about the team’s performance and future⁤ direction. The race, held at the Lusail International Circuit, concluded with Verstappen finishing ahead of ‌Oscar Piastri and ‍Lando Norris, marking another dominant display by the reigning world champion.

The Qatar Grand prix highlighted not onyl ⁢Verstappen’s remarkable driving ‍skill but also the critical role of strategic decision-making⁢ in‍ modern Formula 1. Schmitz, Red bull’s head of race strategy, ⁣masterfully navigated tire management and pit stop timing,⁣ maximizing Verstappen’s advantage and contributing substantially to the team’s one-two finish – a feat narrowly missed due to Sergio‌ Pérez’s late penalty. Simultaneously occurring, Ferrari’s struggles underscored the fragility of performance in the sport, with both Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz Jr. encountering issues that ultimately led to their retirements. This‍ result intensifies pressure on the Italian team to ‍address basic problems before the season’s end and heading into the 2026 regulations.

Verstappen completed the 57-lap race with a final ⁤time of 1:29:56.889, demonstrating a consistent pace throughout. Piastri finished 4.8 seconds behind, followed by Norris in third. Schmitz’s performance was lauded by commentators ⁢and fans alike, with many suggesting a perfect score‌ for her tactical execution. ⁣

Ferrari’s weekend began ⁣with promise, but quickly unraveled. Leclerc retired on lap 19 due⁤ to mechanical issues, while Sainz Jr. was forced to abandon the race on lap 23 following a collision. The double retirement marks a significant setback for⁢ Ferrari, who were⁤ hoping to close the gap to ⁤Red Bull in both the drivers’ and⁣ Constructors’ Championships. The team⁢ now faces a critical ‍period of analysis and⁤ restructuring to prevent a repeat of such a disastrous outcome.

The Formula 1 season continues next ⁤week with the Las Vegas‌ Grand Prix,⁤ where teams will aim to build on their⁢ Qatar performance and further refine ⁤their strategies for the remaining races. The pressure is particularly high for Ferrari to recover and demonstrate improvement, while Red Bull will⁤ look to⁢ maintain its ⁣dominant ‌form and secure both championships.

Marquez wins again and increases the advantage in the standings

(Paolo Lorenzi) There was no doubt, as it had gone in the past and how they went Sprint tests and race on the weekend. Marc Marquez resumed Sachsenring (where he had not left two years ago and had closed according to the slope year): his track. “Danke Sachsenring,” joked the king of the German circuit. “We are halfway through the way, I must still stay concentrated,” said Marc. It is difficult to think that someone can really undermine his primacy in the standings: 83 points on the second and 147 on the third. For the umpteenth time, his brother Alex ended behind him (15 times second out of 22 departures this year), despite being fresh from intervention on his left hand, fractured in Assen. Not even the third place of Bagnaia surprises (seven podiums here), if it were not that Pecco got it by virtue of the falls of Bezzecchi and Giannantonio, in front of him.

The two compatriots have self -elywed by a race that could bring them to the podium. By Giannantonio to the eighteenth passage, three laps after Romagna. Huge regret thinking about the race they were doing, especially Marco who started from the third box, had spotted the departure and ran on the wave of the second place conquered the day before in the sprint race. Fabio could count on the pass sported in trial (on Friday he had signed the new record of the circuit, trimming four tenths to Marc Marquez). Same dynamic: both fell to the braking at the bottom of the straight, critical point, the scene of different falls. Many, too many: eighteen lined up at the start (on a grid of 22) only ten have reached the finish line. Yesterday the list of starters had lost Vinales in qualifying and Morbidelli in the race; Bastianini had not even reached Germany due to a suspected appendicitis, Chantra was operated on the knee four days earlier. Today they ended up in the gravel, in addition to the two Italians, also Ogura, Acosta, Zarco, Mir, Oliveira and Savadori.
