DOHA, Nov 30 (Reuters) - Red Bull's Max Verstappen won the Qatar Grand Prix, while McLaren blew it, to take the Formula One title battle with Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri to a season-ending showdown in Abu Dhabi next weekend.
Championship leader Norris finished fourth, behind the Williams of Spaniard Carlos Sainz, with the Briton's advantage slashed to 12 points as McLaren paid a heavy price for a strategy blunder when the safety car was deployed early on.
