F1 Japanese GP: Verstappen breezes to victory in Red Bull 1-2
“Carlos Sainz completed the podium ahead of his Ferrari team-mate Charles Leclerc who excelled in gaining several places from his mid-pack grid spot with a rare one-stop strategy at Suzuka. At the first start, Verstappen led Perez easily, while the RB cars starting on mediums got swamped by soft-shod rivals. A collision between Ricciardo and Albon led to a red flag and a 30-minute delay for repairs. In the second start, Verstappen retained his lead, with Perez staying within a second until a minor setback on lap six. Perez eventually caught and passed Leclerc and Norris to secure a 12.5s lead over Leclerc by the finish. Sainz held off Norris to secure the final podium spot. Verstappen dominated the race, with Perez showcasing remarkable overtakes and strategic moves throughout.”
