F1 Qatar Grand Prix weather forecast

Formula 1 reaches it conclusion this weekend as the drivers and teams take to the Losail International Circuit for the Qatar Grand Prix – with Max Verstappen already having secured his third successive world championship title.
The Dutchman came home in third during Saturday's sprint, with Sergio Perez's earlier DNF in the race securing his third drivers' championship in as many years.
Qualifying for Sunday's race took place on Friday, with Verstappen taking pole in a dramatic session that saw track limit controversy once again rear its head.
The main drama from the day's action came in Q2, as both Sergio Perez and Carlos Sainz failed to make it into Q3.
