F1 made a return to Qatar to race under the floodlit Losail International Circuit. A weekend that doubled up as a Sprint weekend, the sprint race saw the rookie, Oscar Piastri, take his first win. The outing in Qatar proved a challenge for all entities, from a newly resurfaced track, to drivers getting caught up in track limits and FIA having to impose a mandatory three-stopper race and Verstappen taking his third title on a Saturday. The Sunday's race saw drivers pushed to the extreme with the sole Ferrari driver, Charles Leclerc , to make the race start exclaiming that that was the hardest race of his career!! And of course the Turn 1 lap 1incident that saw the retirement of Sir Lewis Hamilton after a tangle with his teammate, George Russel. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/the-wheel-spin-podcast/message
