Max Verstappen clinched his third consecutive Formula One world championship title after Sergio Perez crashed out of the sprint race at the Qatar Grand Prix.
The Dutchman went into Saturday’s race knowing that he would successfully defend his crown once again as long as he did not lose six or more points to his Red Bull team-mate, with a one-horse title race officially coming to an end when Perez collided with Esteban Ocon on the 11th lap.
