Oscar Piastri scored his first victory since triumphing in the Dutch Grand Prix at the end of August by taking an easy victory in the Qatar sprint.
Piastri finished 4.9s ahead of Mercedes' George, with the Australian's McLaren team-mate Lando Norris third ahead of Red Bull's Max Verstappen in fourth, after the four-time F1 champion made up two places on the opening lap.
The results means Piastri has closed the gap on Norris to 22 points in the drivers' title race, with Verstappen now 25 adrift of the Briton.
