Paul Aron wins in Qatar, Isack Hadjar gets closer to Gabriel Bortoleto in the Championship

The Brazilian then dominated the race and crossed the finish line as winner, but ultimately ranked 3rd because of his penalty, the victory going to Aron, his first of the season, ahead of Hadjar. The Frenchman, 9th on the grid, had difficulties at the start in the middle of the pack, and fell to 11th. But the first intervention of the safety car put him back in the leading group.
