Qatar Grand Prix
F1 RaceWeather Forecast

The Lusail International Circuit has quickly become one of the premier motorsport venues in the Middle East, blending a fast, flowing layout with modern facilities tailored for both drivers and fans. Opened in 2004 just north of Doha, the circuit was originally designed for MotoGP but has seamlessly adapted to Formula 1 with minimal modification. Its 16-turn, 3.37-mile configuration rewards precision and rhythm, pairing long, full-throttle straights with a series of high-speed, linked corners that demand aerodynamic stability. The track’s wide racing surface also provides multiple line options, encouraging strategic overtaking—particularly into Turn 1, the fastest and most decisive braking zone on the lap.

F1’s Qatar Grand Prix debuted at Lusail in 2021 as a late-season calendar addition, but its smooth operation, strong crowd response, and national enthusiasm secured a long-term place on the Formula 1 schedule. Racing under the lights showcases the circuit’s character, with cooler evening temperatures allowing drivers to push harder while teams fine-tune tire strategy around the abrasive desert environment. The Grand Prix has quickly developed a reputation for high-average speeds, punishing tire wear, and strong performance differentials between cars with stable high-downforce setups. Lusail’s continued investment and expansion reflect Qatar’s commitment to motorsport and its growing presence on the global racing stage.
