F1 Drivers' Standings 2023 after the Qatar Grand Prix

Max Verstappen won his third consecutive F1 world title in the Qatar Sprint on Saturday, as McLaren continued their mid-season revival with Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris on Sunday's podium.

The Dutchman was effectively handed the title when his team-mate and closest championship rival Sergio Perez crashed out on lap 12 in the Sprint.

Elsewhere, Mercedes' Lewis Hamilton missed an opportunity to gain on second-placed Perez in the standings after colliding with team-mate George Russell at the first corner of the Qatar Grand Prix.

McLaren's red-hot duo of Piastri and Norris helped close the gap on Aston Martin even further in the constructors' championship at Losail. They're now just 11 points behind their Silverstone-based rivals.
