2025 Qatar Grand Prix

The 2025 Qatar Grand Prix (officially known as the Formula 1 Qatar Airways Qatar Grand Prix 2025) was a Formula One motor race held on 30 November 2025 at the Lusail International Circuit in Lusail, Qatar. It was the twenty-third and penultimate race of the 2025 Formula One World Championship, and the sixth and final Grand Prix weekend of the season to utilise the sprint format. Tyre supplier Pirelli elected to enforce a 25-lap limit on tyres across the weekend, similar to the limit placed at the 2023 edition of the race.

Championship leader Lando Norris (McLaren) came into the round with an opportunity to secure his maiden title, his team's first Drivers' title since 2008. Teammate Oscar Piastri (McLaren) converted pole position for the sprint to a win, and also took pole position for the main race. Max Verstappen (Red Bull) won the main race from third on the grid, followed by Piastri and Carlos Sainz Jr. (Williams), the latter becoming the first Williams driver to score multiple podiums in a season since 2015. Norris finished in second in the sprint and fourth in the Grand Prix.

The result meant that Norris maintained his lead in the Drivers' Standings. Being outscored by his championship rivals, Norris could not secure the title in this event, so he went into the final round with a points advantage of twelve and sixteen points over Verstappen and Piastri, respectively. Verstappen's victory saw him move to second in the championship with Piastri dropping to third. As a consequence, it was the first time in 15 years that at least three drivers went into the final round of the season with a chance of winning the World Drivers' Championship. In the Constructors' Championship, McLaren remained on top with 800 points. Mercedes retained second place in the standings with 459 points, 33 clear of Red Bull in third. Mercedes would only need eleven points at the final race in Abu Dhabi to secure second in the Constructors' Championship.
