Four editions at the Losail circuit, which was built for motorbikes: 2021 and every year since 2023. Lewis Hamilton won the first and Max Verstappen the next three.
It is a night race with fast corners, and in our simulator it is among the circuits where starting at the front matters most.
The next edition is on 29 November 2026. On the Saturday, with the official grid, we publish the preview with every driver's odds.

The teams
The bar is wins. Points are each era's points added as they were, so they favour whoever raced under the current system (25 for a win since 2010). Fastest laps are only counted from 2004.

Where it is won from
In our simulator this is the 8th of 30 circuits where the starting position matters most. It comes from the real races from 2014 to 2025: at each circuit we measure how closely the finishing order matches the starting order among the cars that finish, and the engine is tuned to reproduce it.
How the wins record has changed hands
- 2021Lewis Hamilton wins the first
- 2024Max Verstappen goes to 2 wins, the record
- 2025Max Verstappen goes to 3 wins, the record
