F1 Qatar GP: Piastri Tops Norris in Losail Practice

McLaren’s Oscar Piastri topped the only practice session of Formula 1’s sprint weekend in Qatar, narrowly beating teammate Lando Norris with a last-minute fast lap. Piastri’s time of 1m20.924s edged out Norris by just 0.058 seconds, while Aston Martin’s Fernando Alonso secured third. The session saw all drivers primarily using hard tyres before switching to softs for qualifying simulations, with teams preparing for a two-stopper race strategy due to Pirelli’s tyre regulations. Sprint qualifying is set to continue later in the evening.
