Who has made the list of Winners and Losers from the 2024 F1 Japanese Grand Prix weekend?
The next Formula 1 race after the Japanese Grand Prix will be in China on April 21st, and the one after that will be in Miami on May 5th. Of the 26 races since the start of the 2023 season, Max Verstappen has now won 22 of them following his dominant victory at Suzuka. Providing he wins on F1’s return to Shanghai, it would mean he’s only been defeated twice in a calendar year, stretching back to Sergio Perez’s victory on April 30th, 2023 in Azerbaijan. This domination by the Verstappen-Red Bull dynasty rivals great partnerships like Clark-Lotus, Senna-McLaren, Schumacher-Ferrari, or Hamilton-Mercedes. Sergio Perez’s up-tick in form has been noticed by Red Bull boss Christian Horner, making him a favorite to retain the 2025 seat. Williams is currently in survival mode after delays in the chassis build and crashes at the opening races, hoping for a change of luck in Miami with a new chassis.
