Qatar to host its first F1 race in November

-

QATAR WILL HOST its first Formula 1 race this month, marking the start of a 10-year deal between F1 and the Gulf state. The Qatar Grand Prix, which will take place from November 19-21, 2021, will become a permanent F1 calendar fixture from

2023. This year, the twilight race at Doha’s Lusail Internatio­nal Circuit, which replaces the vacant slot left by the Australian GP’s cancellati­on, is one of seven remaining rounds of a hugely competitiv­e campaign, with Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen battling for the title. It will be staged before the Saudi Arabian and Abu Dhabi Grand Prix races, which will take place on December 5 and 12 respective­ly.
