Qatar Grand Prix is the next chapter in the 2021 Formula 1 which also completes the triple header of Brazil and Mexico. With Red Bull and Mercedes winning a round a-piece, it will be interesting to see who takes the upper hand entering the last two races. For those who are not aware, for the first time in F1 history, the Qatar GP will be staged in front of the race fans. With this race coming into the 2021 calendar as a replacement, from 2023 Qatar GP will be a consistent name in the calendar.

Previously, there have been multiple protests against sporting events held in the country (because of human rights being violated) but Qatar has managed to host the first-ever Formula 1 race this year in its boundaries followed by the FIFA World Cup next year. Having said that, this race will also be the first Middle Eastern race out of the last three. So, with the racing festivity beginning shortly, make sure you know all about the track, schedule and live stream.
