Your complete guide to the Qatar Grand Prix 2023 start time, plus full TV schedule for the race weekend. <\/p>
Formula 1 returns this weekend with the Qatar Grand Prix \u2013 and the first opportunity for Max Verstappen to clinch the world driver\u2019s title for a third successive season.<\/p>\n
The Red Bull megastar has proven largely unstoppable in 2023 with 13 victories \u2013 including a 10-race winning streak \u2013 to his name this campaign.<\/p>\n
Verstappen is sat on exactly 400 points going into the weekend, 177 points clear of teammate Sergio P\u00e9rez, the only man who could mathematically prevent the Dutchman from landing the title.<\/p>\n
Simply put, if Verstappen leaves Qatar with a lead of 146 points or more over P\u00e9rez, he will be crowned king. There\u2019s a sprint race coming up, meaning there\u2019s a maximum haul of 34 points on offer.<\/p>\n
If P\u00e9rez\u00a0fails to hit the podium in the Grand Prix, regardless of what happens over the weekend, it\u2019s game over.<\/p>\n
