Verstappen's Evolution: From Karting Rivalry to Exceptional Calm

The FIA has introduced emergency safety measures for the Qatar Grand Prix after evidence of sidewall separation in Pirelli tyres. The issue is believed to be caused by the high-frequency interference between the tyres and new kerbs at the Losail circuit. The FIA has revised track limits and scheduled an extra practice session to evaluate the situation. If further problems arise, tyre usage will be limited to 20 laps for new tyres and 22 laps for used tyres in the race, with mandatory pitstops. Concerns have been raised by drivers about the aggressive kerbs and their impact on car stability.
