Suzuka, Japan: Max Verstappen of Red Bull won Sunday's Japanese Grand Prix and broke a mini-slump of only two wins in his previous 16 races.
It was his 64th career win. It was the Dutchman's fourth straight victory on the Suzuka circuit in central Japan and breaks the momentum of the McLarens of Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri, who won the seasons first two races in Melbourne, Australia, and Shanghai, China.
The four-time defending Formula 1 champion, Verstappen started from pole position after setting a course-record time in qualifying, which he called insane. Norris placed second and Piastri was third. The track was dry despite rain earlier in the day
