The 2023 Qatar Grand Prix (officially known as the Formula 1 Qatar Airways Qatar Grand Prix 2023) will be a Formula One motor race that will be held on 8 October 2023 at the Lusail International Circuit in Lusail, Qatar. It will be the seventeenth round of the 2023 Formula One World Championship and the fourth Grand Prix weekend of the season to utilise the sprint format. Current World Drivers' Championship leader Verstappen has an opportunity to secure his third title and third in a row.
Background
The event will be held across the weekend of 6–8 October. It will be the seventeenth round of the 2023 Formula One World Championship and the second running of the Qatar Grand Prix. The weekend will be the fourth of six in the season to follow the sprint format.
Championship standings before the race
Coming into the weekend, Max Verstappen leads the Drivers' Championship by 177 points from teammate Sergio Pérez, with Lewis Hamilton third, a further 33 points behind. Red Bull Racing, having secured the title at the preceding Japanese Grand Prix, leads the Constructors' Championship over Mercedes by 318 points and Ferrari by a further 20 points.
Current World Drivers' Championship leader Verstappen has an opportunity to secure his third title and third in a row. Verstappen can secure the title if he outscores Pérez by three points. Verstappen can achieve the title by finishing sixth in the sprint, with Pérez winning. Should Verstappen fail to score in the sprint and Pérez wins, Verstappen will still only need to finish eighth in the Grand Prix – regardless of Pérez's result – to be crowned World Champion. Verstappen can win the title as his advantage would be the same as the number of the obtainable points remaining in the season (146), but Pérez will not be able to win on a tie breaker due to Verstappen achieving more wins than Pérez.
