Today at 03:51 AM
In the penultimate race of the 2024 Formula 1 season, F1 heads to Lusail, and we checked the weather forecast for the Qatar GP weekend.
After Max Verstappen’s championship victory, only the constructors’ championship remains to be decided. McLaren holds a 24-point advantage over Ferrari with two races left in the season. On paper, Lusail should be a favorable track for Andrea Stella‘s team, but the Scuderia has shown it can hold its own even on circuits that don’t suit the characteristics of the SF-24.
