Max Verstappen ensured the final Japanese Grand Prix of the Red Bull-Honda partnership was a memorable one by converting a surprise pole into a surprise win. The victory was the Dutch star’s fourth straight at Suzuka Circuit but his first of the year, with McLaren looking to have the quicker package so far in 2025. McLaren’s Lando Norris finished second, about a second adrift, with teammate Oscar Piastri another second behind in third to complete the podium.
