102nd victory for Lewis Hamilton.
Leading from start to finish, the Briton won the very first Qatar Grand Prix in history on Sunday.
A second welcome victory for the seven-time world champion, who is only 8 points behind Max Verstappen at the head of the world championship.
Penalized by five places on the grid, the Dutchman quickly swallowed his predecessors without going for Hamilton, who flew over the debates in front.
“Mad Max” will console himself with his fastest lap in the race, which allows him to save a point.
