Red Bull driver Max Verstappen of the Netherlands parks the car after winning the Qatar Formula One Grand Prix at the Lusail International Circuit in Lusail, Qatar, Sunday, Dec. 1, 2024.
LUSAIL, Qatar (AP) -- Red Bull's Max Verstappen followed up his Formula 1 drivers' title with another win Sunday in an incident-packed Qatar Grand Prix as Lando Norris was hit with a penalty that ended his challenge for the race victory.
Verstappen, who'd been dropped from pole to second place after an incident with George Russell in qualifying, got his revenge on the Mercedes driver off the line in the race.
