Max Verstappen achieved his 13th victory of the season this Sunday in Japan. His team, Red Bull, secured the 2023 Constructors’ World Championship.
Having struggled last weekend in Singapore, Max Verstappen did not leave anything to chance this Sunday at Suzuka to win the Japanese Grand Prix. Starting from pole position, the double reigning world champion resisted the attacks from McLaren at the start to ultimately enjoy a relatively quiet Sunday. He was able to execute his two-stop strategy without interference to secure his 48th career win, alone at the top.
Nice double hit by the McLaren boys, both of them on the podium with Lando Norris ahead of rookie Oscar Piastri.
With this 15th victory of the season, and the 13th for Max Verstappen, Red Bull secures a second consecutive Constructors’ title, the 6th in its history after those of 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, and 2022. Red Bull sets a new record by being crowned the fastest team in history.
On the Alpine side, Esteban Ocon and Pierre Gasly scored three small points for the team this Sunday.
The next event will take place in Losail for the Qatar Grand Prix (October 6-8), where Max Verstappen could be crowned champion as early as Saturday’s Sprint Race.
