With three races left in a thrilling 2021 Formula 1 season, the sport heads to new territory this weekend – Qatar. The state is set to host a grand prix for the first time in F1 history. There are 78 points still available across the three remaining races – 25 for a race win, plus a point for the fastest lap – so if Verstappen wins in Qatar with Hamilton second, the Dutchman can afford to finish second to the Briton at the final two races and still win the title. “It [the title race] has been like this the whole year. Verstappen and Hamilton have crashed into each other twice this season and raced wheel-to-wheel on numerous occasions, and Qatar could be the setting for more thrilling drama this weekend.
