Max Verstappen roared back to his winning ways at Suzuka, securing a dominant victory at the Japanese Grand Prix . The Red Bull star, still smarting from his shock retirement in Australia, left no room for doubt this time—leading teammate Sergio Pérez across the line for a fiery 1-2 team finish.
'The car just got better and better,' Verstappen radioed to his team, cruising to his third win of 2024. Fans dubbed it a 'masterclass in tire management' as the Dutch ace stretched his lead to 13 seconds before easing off. Talk about leaving breadcrumbs!
Meanwhile, Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc cheered his team’s bold strategy: 'We maximized everything today.' Could this hint at a Maranello resurgence? With Red Bull now 21 points clear in the constructors' championship, the battle for second place just got spicy!
