How Did I Become an F1 Driver?-Chapter 763 - 312: The End of Qatar

Soon, the post-race award ceremony began.

After listening to the familiar British national anthem, the award ceremony officially started.

The ones responsible for presenting the awards were all local government officials from Qatar; you could tell they were very wealthy just by their attire.

After all, they were all dressed in white robes with a piece of white cloth on their heads.

After the award ceremony ended, the broadcast showed the leaders of the Mercedes and Red Bull teams leaving from below the podium.

Shortly after, they presented the race standings and point allocations: after this race, the driver rankings are as follows:

1: Hamilton +25

2: Qin Miao +18

3: Verstappen +16 (fastest lap)

4: Alonso +12

5: Perez +10

6: O'Kang +8

7: Stroll +6

8: Sainz +4

9: Leclerc +2

10: Norris +1

11: Vettel

12: Gasly

13: Ricardo

14: Yuki Tsunoda

15: Kimi

16: Giovinazzi

17: Mick

18: Russell

19: Mazepin

20: Latifi (retired with a puncture)

After this race, the driver standings and their rankings are as follows:

1: Qin Miao 351

2: Hamilton 345 (+11→+6)

3: Verstappen 338 (+13→+13)

15: Russell 10 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

16: Kimi 7

17: Latifi 3

After the race, Hamilton and Verstappen exchanged positions.

However, there wasn't much change in the positions of the other drivers. After all, it's already the end of the season, and the points gaps between drivers have become quite large, making it difficult for any changes in rankings.

But due to not winning in the last few races, the points gap between Qin Miao and the second place has further narrowed.

After the race, the team standings are as follows:

1: Mercedes: 696

2: Red Bull: 512

3: Ferrari: 274

4: McLaren: 221

5: Alpine: 115

6: Alpha Tauri: 92

7: Aston Martin: 75

8: Williams: 13

9: Alfa Romeo: 7

10: Haas: 0

With the help of the Haas duo, the Haas Team remains scoreless so far this season.

However, considering their lack of any upgrades throughout the season, achieving such results isn't surprising at all.

After the final team standings came out, the Qatar Grand Prix was nearing its end.

The broadcast from Five-Star Sports then switched to the three commentators.

"Let's congratulate Hamilton once again, who led every lap of this race from start to finish and ultimately achieved a dominant victory in the Qatar main race!" Bing from Five-Star Sports started summarizing Hamilton's performance in the race.

Fei also commented, "That's right, Hamilton's performance in this race was indeed impeccable. From how Qin Miao and Verstappen were only able to keep pace but not catch up to Hamilton in the latter part of the race, you can see Hamilton was quite at ease throughout this race."

"Additionally, as fans, we hope that Qin Miao will not let the pressure from the two closely following competitors affect his mindset, and that he will continue to maintain the stability and speed he has shown, as he finishes the last two races."

"We've certainly fantasized about Qin Miao winning the championship this season, but even if Qin Miao doesn't win the final championship this season, we wouldn't blame him for anything; his presence has already satisfied us plenty!"

"Well, after this race, we hope Qin Miao can take a good rest, get into the right state, and see everyone at the Saudi Grand Prix in half a month!"
