Max Verstappen was the absolute winner of the third Grand Prix of the 2025 season of the F1. The world’s tetracampeon showed that it is still a contender to the title by establishing a new record of the International Suzuka circuit in the classification session, and sitting at the top of the podium for the first time in the season.
Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri were responsible for closing the Japan GP podium. The McLaren pilots could not approach the Dutch enough to be able to snatch the first place.
Similarly, a disappeared Charles Leclerc stayed with the fourth position of the race without seeing much action in its development. George Russell closed his worst presentation so far this season when staying with the fifth position, while Kimi Antonelli (6th), Lewis Hamilton (7th), Isack Hadjar (8th), Alex Albon (9th) and Oliver Bearman (10th), closed the points of the weekend.
Fernando Alonso and Carlos Sainz Jr. are still not raised in the campaign. The Asturian pilot stayed at the gates of his first points at the end of the 11th position, while the Madrid was conditioned for starting 15º and stayed with the 14th place.
