Max Verstappen has continued his seemingly inexorable push for a fourth consecutive Formula One championship with victory at the Japanese Grand Prix.

The Red Bull star took another win at Suzuka on Sunday morning, ahead of team-mate Sergio Perez, as the reigning constructors’ champions dominated the paddock once again.

While there were few surprises on the podium, with Carlos Sainz returning home third for Ferrari, the race got off to a dramatic start.

Alex Albon and Danny Ricciardo were involved in a big crash on the first lap that delayed the race due to a long red flag.

For Mercedes, it was another grueling day, with Lewis Hamilton finishing ninth, two places behind teammate George Russell.
