Catch up on Qatar GP Qualifying as Piastri seizes pole

Oscar Piastri continued his impressive form by securing pole position for the Qatar Grand Prix, setting up a thrilling race crucial for the championship battle. Piastri edged out his McLaren teammate and title rival Lando Norris by just over a tenth of a second, with championship leader Max Verstappen qualifying third. This result makes Norris's challenge to win the race and secure the Drivers' Championship more difficult. Mercedes drivers George Russell and Andrea Kimi Antonelli impressed with P4 and P5. The session saw brief halts due to Charles Leclerc's spin and a sticker on Carlos Sainz's tyre, while Lewis Hamilton endured another frustrating Q3 exit in P18.
