Formula 1 racing | Verstappen seals third F1 title as Piastri wins sprint

The Hindu  

Max Verstappen added his name to the list of triple Formula One world champions on Saturday after Red Bull team mate and sole title rival Sergio Perez crashed out of the Qatar Grand Prix sprint race. He also became the second youngest triple world champion after now-retired German Sebastian Vettel, who secured the third of his four crowns with Red Bull in 2012 at the age of 25, and the first to win the title in a sprint event. Piastri's success ended Red Bull's domination of the sprints this season and earned the Australian rookie his first victory in F1, even if not a proper grand prix for the record books. The safety car came out a third time to deal with Perez's accident, leaving five laps of racing at the end and not enough time for Verstappen to catch Piastri.
