Red Bull’s Max Verstappen leads into Turn 1 at the 2025 Japanese Grand Prix.
Here are the complete results from the 2025 Japanese Grand Prix at Suzuka, which was won by…
Max Verstappen converted his stellar Saturday pole position to victory in what was a tense but relatively pedestrian Japanese Grand Prix.
Max Verstappen victorious against double-pronged McLaren attack
Holding his lead off the starting grid, Verstappen held position ahead of Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri and began eking out a small lead of around two seconds in the early laps.
Norris didn’t have a significant pace advantage over Verstappen but began chipping away at Verstappen’s lead towards the end of the first stint on the medium tyres.
With Piastri close behind Norris, the Australian was brought in first of the leading trio but, with the undercut effect not powerful, he remained in a net third place when Verstappen and Norris pitted on the following lap.
A slower stop from Red Bull allowed Norris to get close in the pit exit, with the British driver appearing to be caught out by Verstappen’s release of the pitlane speed limit as he had to take to the grass to avoid hitting the Red Bull.
In the second stint, Verstappen controlled the pace to come home a second clear of Norris, with Piastri seven-tenths of a second behind his teammate as McLaren stayed close but didn’t attempt any additional tactics to try attacking Verstappen.
