Qatar qualifying and sprint shootout

After driving only one free practice session, due to the sprint weekend, qualifying for the Qatar Grand Prix got underway on Friday, Oct. 6. Many laps were again taken away by exceeding the track limits. Carlos Sainz and Sergio Perez (again) failed to make Q3 and Max Verstappen took pole position by almost half a second. However, there were still some changes in the results, related to exceeding the track limits. This caused Lando Norris to drop from P2 to P10 and Oscar Piastri to drop from P3 to P6. Lewis Hamilton was allowed to start from P3 as a result.
