Who is the 'GPblog Driver of the Day' of the 2021 Qatar GP?

Verstappen had to start from seventh on the grid due to a five-place grid penalty, but after just five laps he was back in second place. An impressive advance in a short time of the current leader in the world championship. He maximised his chances with 19 points at the Losail International Circuit.

For Alonso, it was his first podium since returning to the premier class of motorsport. Indeed, it was his first top-three finish since 2014 when he was still racing for the Ferrari team. The two-time world champion put in an excellent performance by finishing behind Hamilton and Verstappen on P3 in Qatar. Teammate Esteban Ocon finished fifth and Alpine did very well in the battle for fifth place in the Constructors' Championship.
