Formula 1 Qatar Airways Qatar Grand Prix 2023

A collection of 85 editorial images documenting the start of the Formula 1 Qatar Airways Qatar Grand Prix 2023 at Lusail International Circuit. The collection captures the drivers lining up on the starting grid, the opening moments of the race, and the first-corner collision between Mercedes teammates Lewis Hamilton and George Russell. Hamilton attempted to overtake around the outside of Turn 1 but made contact with Russell, who was positioned between Hamilton and Red Bull Racing driver Max Verstappen. The collision damaged the right-rear wheel of Hamilton’s Mercedes, sending him into the gravel and forcing him to retire on the opening lap. Russell was able to return to the pits and continue the race. The images document the race start, the collision, Hamilton’s damaged car, and the immediate aftermath of one of the defining moments of the 2023 Qatar Grand Prix.
