November 28–30 – Lusail International Circuit
The Formula 1 World Championship heads to Qatar for the penultimate round of the 2025 season — one of the most decisive moments of the year. Held at the modern Lusail International Circuit, the event takes place from November 28 to 30 and brings unique characteristics: a full night race, high temperatures even after sunset, intense tyre strategy, and a fast layout that pushes drivers and teams to the limit.
One of the few fully night-time Grands Prix
The Qatar GP is held entirely under artificial lighting, creating one of the most striking visual atmospheres in Formula 1. The strong, uniform illumination allows very high speeds but also creates unusual challenges:
-
Sudden temperature changes between sessions
-
A track surface that cools quickly, making tyre warm-up difficult
-
Grip levels that vary significantly throughout the weekend
It’s an environment where teams must adapt the car almost session by session.
The Lusail Circuit: fast, flowing, and technical
The Lusail International Circuit measures 5.419 km, with 57 race laps for a total of approximately 308.6 km.
It is known for:
-
Medium- and high-speed corners, similar to sections of Saudi Arabia and Silverstone
-
A long main straight, perfect for DRS overtakes
-
Smooth directional changes that demand strong aerodynamic efficiency
Cars with good balance and strong tyre management usually excel here.
Special tyre rules make strategy even more complex
As in the previous edition, Pirelli and the FIA maintain a unique tyre rule for Qatar:
Each tyre set may not be used for more than 25 laps throughout the weekend.
This forces:
-
At least two pit stops during the race
-
Much more complex and unpredictable strategies
-
Greater emphasis on consistent pace and compound preservation
This rule often makes the Qatar GP unpredictable and tactically dynamic.
Impact on the 2025 Championship
With the season nearing its end, Qatar could be the decisive event in the title fight.
-
Oscar Piastri remains the championship leader, but with a narrow margin
-
Max Verstappen is on a strong comeback, closing in rapidly
-
Lando Norris keeps his title hopes alive, especially competitive on fast circuits like Lusail
With three drivers still realistically in the fight, this GP may determine who arrives in Abu Dhabi with a real chance of becoming champion.
A modern event in an impressive setting
Qatar has heavily invested in becoming one of the most technologically advanced rounds on the calendar. Beyond the track itself:
-
The paddock is one of the most modern in Formula 1
-
The country hosts the event during peak tourist season, with milder temperatures
-
The area around the circuit includes fan zones, gastronomy experiences, music, and themed activities
Lusail positions itself as one of the most complete and engaging races in the final stretch of the season.
The 2025 Qatar Grand Prix promises to be one of the highlights of the year — not only for the circuit’s unique technical features but also for its direct impact on the championship fight.
With a night race, high speeds, complex strategies, and three drivers battling for the title, everything points to an intense and unmissable weekend.
