IndyCar’s Lindsay Brewer gives a three-word update on her Qatar trip after witnessing Max Verstappen's post-championship dominance

Indy NXT driver Lindsay Brewer has shared a race-themed update from her Qatar trip. This comes a day after she witnessed Max Verstappen dominantly emerge victorious at the chaotic Qatar GP to take his 10th win of 2024.

Brewer is known for her modeling and exceptional racing skills, which landed her the Juncos Hollinger Racing seat for the 2024 Indy NXT season. The 27-year-old landed in Qatar on the day of the Thursday press conferences after wrapping up her trip to the Las Vegas GP, where Verstappen won his fourth consecutive F1 world championship.

Brewer shared several Instagram stories capturing her experience in Qatar. She was in the Alpine garage for the weekend and witnessed Verstappen's victory up close when he parked his winning RB20 on the winner's stand.

Once her F1 commitments ended on Sunday, Brewer returned to her travel itinerary, which involved a day of drifting stock cars. She shared a photo from the Qatar Racing Club on her Instagram story, encapsulating her plan in three words:

"Time to drift🫶"

Lindsay Brewer has been a strong force in inspiring the next generation of aspiring female racers. In 2024, the Colorado native achieved significant progress in her racing career. Though Juncos Hollinger Racing ended her season midway, citing unfulfilled contractual obligations, she helped pave the way for other female drivers to enter the male-dominated sport.

Brewer's brand on social media and racing success landed her more sponsorships. McLaren's F1 sponsor, Mastercard, invited her as its brand ambassador at the Las Vegas GP, and she also promoted IWC's luxury watches and Wynn Las Vegas that weekend on Instagram. Moreover, luxury asset ownership brand MCQ Markets also made her its ambassador that weekend.

Brewer is grateful for the Indy NXT opportunity, as she told Numero Netherlands in September:

"Competing in the Indy NXT Championship has been a dream come true. It’s not just about the prestige of the series, it’s about being part of a community that pushes the limits of racing and innovation. For me, it’s an opportunity to showcase my skills on a global stage and continue to grow and develop as a driver. Each race is a chance to prove myself and advance in my career, and I’m incredibly proud to be a part of this journey."

Brewer finished 21st in the 2024 standings with 102 points from eight out of 14 races. Her 2.8 million Instagram followers await an update on her 2025 racing plans.
