Red Bull's Max Verstappen won the Japanese Grand Prix for the third time this season. The three-time reigning world champion made up for his retirement two weeks ago in Australia by winning the fourth round of the season at Suzuka.
Sergio Perez finished second with Carlos Sainz third and Fernando Alonso fourth. Yuki Tsunoda (Racing Bulls) completed the Top 10 and scored the first points in Japan of his career. Esteban Ocon and Pierre Gasly never managed to get their tires to work, and finished 15th and 16th.
