Oscar Piastri dominates Qatar Grand Prix practice: can McLaren secure the championship?

In a stunning display of speed and skill, Oscar Piastri has put his mark on the Qatar Grand Prix, leading the charge for McLaren in the final sprint weekend of the 2025 Formula 1 season. The young Australian’s impressive lap time of 1m20.924s positioned him ahead of his teammate and championship contender, Lando Norris, who trailed closely behind by a mere 0.058 seconds. This thrilling duel sets the stage for what promises to be an electrifying weekend at the Lusail International Circuit.

As the penultimate round of the season unfolds, the competition is heating up. Fernando Alonso of Aston Martin secured a commendable third place, clocking in at +0.386 seconds behind Piastri, showcasing his relentless pursuit of glory in the twilight of his illustrious career. Meanwhile, Carlos Sainz from Williams demonstrated his prowess, finishing fourth, just 0.480 seconds off the pace.

The battle for supremacy doesn’t stop there. Rising star Isack Hadjar, driving for Racing Bulls, made a strong showing in fifth place, only 0.579 seconds adrift, while Max Verstappen, the reigning champion from Red Bull, found himself in sixth, a mere 0.580 seconds back—a clear reminder that the fight for the top is far from over.

As the session progressed, the tension mounted with Alex Albon from Williams and Charles Leclerc of Ferrari rounding out the top eight, showcasing the fierce competitive spirit that defines Formula 1. Lance Stroll’s performance in ninth and Kimi Antonelli’s tenth-place finish for Mercedes only adds to the intensity of this final showdown.

Notably, Lewis Hamilton, the legendary seven-time world champion, struggled to find his rhythm, finishing in twelfth place, 0.870 seconds off the lead. This unexpected result raises questions about the Ferrari team’s strategy as they look to capitalize on every opportunity left in this season.

With Yuki Tsunoda and George Russell following closely in thirteenth and fourteenth respectively, the stage is set for a clash of titans in the main event. Meanwhile, the likes of Ollie Bearman, Gabriel Bortoleto, and Esteban Ocon are fighting for every precious second as they navigate the complexities of the Lusail track.

As the drivers prepare for what promises to be a thrilling race, the stakes have never been higher. Will McLaren maintain their dominance, or will a dark horse emerge to steal the spotlight? The world watches as the countdown to the Qatar Grand Prix continues, and the roar of engines is just around the corner. Buckle up, because this is shaping up to be a spectacle you won’t want to miss!
