The Qatar Grand Prix of 2023 is here and the grid is gearing up for the thrilling race day after a very dramatic Sprint race. Red Bull Racing was crowned Constructors’ Champions at Suzuka in the Japanese Grand Prix and reigning Drivers’ champion, Max Verstappen took home the title of World Championship with the sprint race at Qatar.
The starting grid for the Qatar Grand Prix has Verstappen and Russell starting at the forefront, with Lewis Hamilton, Fernando Alonso, and Charles Leclerc behind them.
The Sprint winner, Oscar Piastri follows Charles Leclerc at the sixth spot. Sergio Perez, after another disappointing weekend, will be looking to climb up the grid from thirteenth just behind the Singapore Grand Prix winner from Ferrari, Carlos Sainz.

However, Perez suffered from an ugly crash yet again with another Haas involved, similar to that which happened at the Japanese Grand Prix.
Nico Hulkenberg, Sergio Perez, and Alpine driven by Esteban Ocon collided and they landed on the gravel as they sidetracked from the race. The regulations for the race on Sunday are still undetermined for the time being, creating issues harder to resolve.
A thrilling race day has been set alongside a lot of surprising turns and fierce rivalry in store for the spectators.
