The F1 circus continues to be inextricably linked with the world of travel and points. The first, big news, is that the F1 world championship will no longer fly with Emirates, but with Qatar. In fact, the world's No. 1 airline has become the main sponsor of the world championship.

In addition to the global partnership, Qatar Airways will be the Title Sponsor of three Grand Prix™ this year: the Qatar Airways Emilia Romagna Grand Prix (May 19-21), the Qatar Airways Hungarian Grand Prix (July 21-23) and the Qatar Airways Qatar Grand Prix (October 6-8).
At the moment, Qatar has not yet announced whether it will open up the possibility of redeeming airline tickets using points as was the case, for example, with Emirates, but it is logical to expect some similar initiative from the airline.
