FORMULA ONE: Lando Norris’ bid to become champion of the world will go to a season finale in Abu Dhabi next weekend after Max Verstappen cashed in ona calamitous McLaren strategy decision to win the Qatar Grand Prix.

Norris, who finished only fourth, will head to the concluding round just 12 points ahead of Verstappen with Oscar Piastri, runner-up to the Red Bull driver under the lights yesterday, 16 points adrift with 25 left to play for.

McLaren were in control of the 57-lap contest, despite Norris dropping from second to third behind Verstappen at the start.

Piastri led, but both he and Norris were told not to pit when a safety car was deployed on the seventh lap after Nico Hulkenberg and Pierre Gasly collided.
