Max Verstappen is back to his dominating ways as Red Bull makes history and McLaren scores a double podium finish.
Max Verstappen’s victory at the Japanese Grand Prix was never really in doubt.
For Red Bull to wrap up the Constructors’ title with six events still left to run is a tremendously impressive achievement. No team has clinched a title with so many grands prix remaining in a season, and it has won 15 of the 16 races held.Added Verstappen: “It’s an incredible season for everyone involved in the team, I’m just very proud to be a part of it but very proud to be working with all these amazing people.
Lando Norris made it back-to-back runner-up positions, continuing the rich vein of form that has seen him emerge as the second-highest points scorer since McLaren introduced that upgrade in Austria. “It’s definitely been a pretty special week, obviously with the announcement of the extension and then qualifying on the front row yesterday, first podium today,” he said. “It’s been a very fun week. I’ll enjoy it, and still a lot to learn and try and improve on. But yeah, I’ll enjoy the moment for now.”
Perez was on his way to retiring, and almost a lap down, due to the damage sustained to his RB19 following the collision with Magnussen. Leclerc, running fourth during that first stage, assumed that it was the Red Bull in front of him in the race – Verstappen – who had slowed when he flashed past a slow-moving RB19 on the exit of Spoon Curve, rather than a touring and almost-lapped Perez.
Despite the mix-up the result, with Sainz sixth, enabled Ferrari to trim Mercedes’ advantage for second in the standings to 20 points.
