Max Verstappen claimed his ninth race win of the year in Lusail, to put an exclamation point on his Formula 1 drivers' championship.

Despite the Dutchman's win, essentially leading from the first corner to the chequered flag, the drama came further down the order after a number of high-profile penalties.

The McLaren star received a 10-second penalty for not lifting under the yellow flags, which saw him tumble down the order and finish the race in P10.

Meanwhile, Hamilton was initially hit with a penalty for a false start, however later ran over a piece debris which caused a puncture.

The seven-time world champion was awarded a further penalty for speeding in the pitlane, and a P12 finish compounded a woeful weekend for Hamilton at Lusail.

Here is the final classification from the Qatar GP:
