The 20th race of the 2021 Formula 1 Championship will be the inaugural race in Qatar, the 2021 Qatar Grand Prix, which replaces the Australian Grand Prix after that race was canceled earlier this year due to COVID-19.

Mercedes’ Lewis Hamilton will start first after taking the pole position with 0.455 seconds of advantage over Red Bull’s Max Verstappen, who is 14 points ahead of the Britishman in the Driver’s Championship. Hamilton’s teammate Valtteri Bottas will start third.

With only three races left in the championship, today’s grand prix is crucial for both Hamilton, who is looking for his eight title, while the Dutchman will try to win his first. However, Verstappen won’t have much help, with his teammate Sergio Perez starting from the 11th position.
