Dutchman led from pole to win fourth Japanese GPMcLaren duo Norris and Piastri finish second, thirdWhile it may have been short on thrills, the Japanese Grand Prix was at the very least a demonstration of intent from Max Verstappen. ­Formula One might prefer the spectacle and drama but it is all a bagatelle to ­Verstappen in his pursuit of a fifth consecutive world title.His victory at Suzuka, ground out with a relentless series of controlled laps while hounded to the flag by the two McLarens, was a pointed reminder that the Dutchman will not go quietly into the night. At the close he had beaten Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri into second and third by just over a second.

Red Bull driver exceeds expectations in unpredictable carBeats McLaren’s Norris by one hundredth of a secondMax Verstappen claimed pole for the Japanese Grand Prix with an immense lap for Red Bull at Suzuka, beating the McLarens of Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri into second and third. Charles Leclerc was fourth for Ferrari, with his teammate Lewis Hamilton eighth. George Russell and Kimi Antonelli were fifth and sixth for Mercedes.The pole will be of no little relief to Verstappen and Red Bull and was very much against expectations, given that the car had not looked as strong as the McLaren or Mercedes in the opening rounds, nor at Suzuka this weekend.

McLaren looked strongest by some way in practice but when let fully off the leash at Suzuka in a tightly contested fight it was Verstappen and Red Bull who had the edge, setting up a fascinating fight for Sunday.
