If this question baffled your mind too, how about putting an end to your queries? Are you ready to find the answers?

First, a quick flashback

Looking at the past races held in Turkey, the United States, and Mexico, anybody could tell that Verstappen had the highest chance of taking the Qatar GP trophy home. But when Hamilton took the lead in the Brazil GP, things got a little complicated because the GOAT was back in form. Even the experts couldn’t predict the outcome until the race officially took place.

A breathtaking performance!

The race, which took place at the Losail International Circuit, started with the free practice rounds (FP) on November 19, 2021. During FP1, Red Bull’s Verstappen emerged as the winner, followed by AlphaTauri’s Pierre Gasly, and Mercedes’ Valtteri Bottas. The same day during FP2, the tables turned, and Bottas finished the race in the first position, followed by Gasly and Verstappen. The next day during FP3, Bottas maintained his place, but this time Hamilton proved that no matter what, nobody could stop him from achieving his goals. The British racer secured the second position leaving his rival Verstappen behind. Seeing the FP rounds, experts thought that Hamilton had a minimal chance of landing in the top three positions in the final race. However, that didn’t happen!

Since the beginning of the race, Hamilton maintained the first position with Fernando Alonso and Gasly behind him. As for Verstappen, he began at the seventh position, and within two to four laps, he was able to grab the fourth place. Later, Verstappen overtook Gasly, and by the end of the fifth lap, he was at the second spot. Both the epic racers maintained their positions till the ninth lap, with Verstappen constantly trying to overtake Hamilton. However, all his attempts and efforts went in vain ‘cuz the 36-year-old wasn’t ready to let go of the first place. Till the 57th lap, he maintained the same place and finally won the race. Verstappen did the same with the second position while Alonso emerged as third. TBH, it was an amazing match, and all the racers gave their best to come in the top five. But as they say, there can only be one winner, and this time it was Hamilton!
