Lewis Hamilton commits to Mercedes until 2025<\/h3>\n

Ferrari driver Charles Leclerc has warned the rest of the Formula 1 grid that this weekend\u2019s upcoming Qatar Grand Prix could go \u201cincredibly wrong\u201d as a result of the blistering hot temperatures in the region. Daytime temperatures could reach as high as 40 degrees Celcius, while the evening races could still be in the thirties.<\/p>\n

The free practice and sprint shoot-out will take place during the day, as drivers will be subjected to extremely hot environments inside their cars. This heat will test their physical and mental fortitude while also impacting tyre strategies as teams battle to manage degradation.<\/p>\n

Qatar hosting a sprint race ensures that drivers also have a smaller window for practice, putting them to the test. And Leclerc has warned his rivals that Ferrari have put in the work to be prepared to take advantage of any mistakes in the blistering desert heat.<\/p>\n

“It’s definitely going to be very difficult because we’ve got extremely hot temperatures, where we normally take a bit of time to understand what\u2019s the limit for the cooling, etc,” Leclerc warned.<\/p>\n

“And now we only have one session, on a track that has been completely resurfaced, also, so there are many things that we need to learn in only one session. So, it can either go incredibly well or incredibly wrong. We have done a lot of work to prepare this race, in order for it to go very well, so I hope that will be the case.”<\/p>\n

While\u00a0Max Verstappen could claim the drivers\u2019 championship title before Sunday\u2019s race and Red Bull were crowned constructors\u2019 champions in Japan, the likes of Ferrari and Mercedes are battling it out to be the second-best team – with Leclerc, Lewis Hamilton, Fernando Alonso and Carlos Sainz also hoping to snatch second in the drivers\u2019 standings from Sergio Perez.<\/p>\n

Hamilton, meanwhile, will wear his rainbow helmet in Qatar once again as a show of his support for LGBTQ+ rights in a country where same-sex relationships are illegal. He wore the helmet two years ago, as the 2022 race was cancelled as Qatar was hosting the football World Cup at the time.<\/p>\n

“It’s always good and well raising awareness for things, but it\u2019s more about the work that is done in the background and the conversations you continue to have,\u201d Hamilton said. “It’s such a big machine to shift. It is a whole country that is very young. It has taken the west a long, long time to get to where they are.<\/p>\n

“All we can do is try to be positive when we come to these places and take the opportunity. That’s why I continue to wear the flag here.\u201d<\/p>\n
