Super Max returned to Suzuka. The two-time world champion - ever closer to becoming three - times, following the difficult weekend in Singapore, responds winning the Japanese GP and he does it ahead of Lando's two excellent McLarens Norris and Oscar Piastres, to his first podium in F1 in his debut year in the category.

A good performance, even though they didn't reach the podium, also for the Ferraris with Charles Leclerc - room – and Carlos Sainz - sixth –. For the Spaniard it wasn't a perfect race, considering fifth place lost to Lewis Hamilton, due to the undercut performed by the seven-time world champion. A result that is close to Ferrari, who gains four points on Mercedes in the fight for second place in the constructors' championship, with Red Bull officially crowned champion during the Japanese weekend. Even for the sixteenth round of the season, there was no lack of spectators for the Japanese GP, naturally broadcast exclusively on Sky. The Suzuka race, live at 07.00, has in fact scored 510 thousand average viewers, with a 12,1% share.
Next stop: Qatar
With the Japanese GP also consigned to the archives, Formula 1 stops for a week, before living the last six GPs of the season. The next stop will be Qatar, on the weekend of 6-8 October, with the presence of Sprint, in which Verstappen will have the first chance to close the case and officially become three-time world champion.
