00:00And the Japanese Grand Prix is go! Good reaction time, Oscar Piastri!

00:07Max Verstappen knew he was going to get a good time, he's squeezing him!

00:10Round the outside goes Lando Norris, big crash, big contact in the middle, side by side they go!

00:14Max Verstappen hangs on to the lead, Oscar Piastri is down to third.

00:18Up to second place goes Lando Norris, who was brave, there was a wheel bump in the middle of the race track there,

00:23and it's one of the Alpines heading backwards, there's damage for an Alfa Romeo,

00:26but Verstappen, Jolyon, had to get his elbows out and he maintained the lead.

00:30Yeah, he did really well to do so, defending inside and outside, the two Alfa Tauris side by side of Tsunoda,

00:35going up the inside of Liam Lawson, who got him at the start.

00:38I don't know how Verstappen kept the lead there, with Norris charging on the outside of Piastri there on the inside.

00:43Oh, it's very, very tight on the inside with the two Alfa Tauris squeezing each other all the while,

00:48are they going to make contact? Liam Lawson gets ahead, car number 40 powers ahead of his teammate,

00:54so it's losing positions off the line, Yuki Tsunoda down two places, 2.11.

00:58Yeah, Lawson's got himself up into the top ten, and the safety car is out,

01:03Piastri on the inside almost goes onto the grass himself, there's the touch,

01:07Perez and Hamilton have a little touch, then there's another one further back.

01:11Wow, that was big contact for Albin.

01:14This is on board with Kevin Magnusson, has his path blocked and he's going to get a good view of the contact,

01:19that's amazing that that Williams is still pointing in a straight line.

01:23That is Valtteri Bottas off the road.

01:25Valtteri Bottas off the road.

01:27Here's Valtteri Bottas then around the outside, oh he gets a whack from Sargent.

01:33Dive bomb move from George Russell on his teammate, Hamilton had to give him the space,

01:39and George Russell will have a smile a mile wide there because he's made the pass at the chicane,

01:45but Hamilton will not take that lying down.

01:47The two Mercedes, not at the front of the field like they were last week,

01:50over some debris goes George Russell there, Hamilton trying to retake seventh position,

01:54Russell thought about nibbling back and Hamilton retakes the place.

01:58And there is Valtteri Bottas' day, and he's gone out in the early part of the race today.

02:05Another late lunge, oh contact!

02:09Unbelievable! Round goes the Haas, contact again for Perez.

02:14Have a nose to the inside, he's coming from a long way back, he's nowhere near, oh it's really poor.

02:20It's really poor for Perez, that was a pretty poor looking move.

02:24And Sergio Perez has been told to retire the car.

02:31This is a hugely fast part of the race track as we plunge downhill,

02:35and you try to make the corner as wide as possible, trying to sweep around the outside,

02:39and no room given, both Mercedes off the road.

02:42They might not be at the very front of the field this week,

02:45but they're continuing to give us amazing entertainment.

02:48Who do we want to fight here, each other or all the others?

02:55This needs to be another classic Red Bull stop.

02:58So many of the best pit stops this year have gone the way of this team.

03:02And he goes out, 3.3 is okay.

03:05That is the driver that he's worrying about on the exit of the corner,

03:08and they have played that to perfection.

03:10Once again, really well timed and executed for Red Bull.

03:14Track position for Verstappen over Piastri as Hamilton comes in to get rid of those medium tyres.

03:20That is a wide moment for George Russell, and through goes Verstappen.

03:26So Russell not fighting it, even if he wanted to.

03:30It's another quick move.

03:32We're going through the right-hander.

03:34We're getting the spoon and we move ahead.

03:36So Charles Leclerc ticking off the places nicely.

03:40And now we're looking at Carlos Sainz all over the back of his childhood hero.

03:45Fernando Alonso was the driver who started the Spanish love affair with Formula One.

03:49And he isn't going to be able to keep him behind for too much longer.

03:52There goes the Ferrari driver.

03:53The outside line will eventually turn into the inside line.

03:56And it will eventually turn into seventh place for Carlos Sainz.

04:00And he'll have a run this time down towards the chicane.

04:03No DRS at this stage.

04:04He's going to be right with him through 1.30 R.

04:06And Hamilton going for the move on Alonso at the 1.30 R.

04:09These two great side-by-side.

04:11And it's another great moment of brinkmanship.

04:14Alonso knowing there's nothing he could do to fight back.

04:18Way quicker, I'm just going to do it again.

04:22We're going to swap the position.

04:24So Lando Norris finally takes second position after asking for the team order for the swap.

04:29Very early on.

04:30Had to wait a couple of laps, but he's finally up to second place.

04:33As Alonso gets ever closer.

04:37He turns that into a traction race.

04:39That is going to turn into ninth position.

04:41Tsunoda at his home race doesn't want to give the place away.

04:43And once again, we're seeing plenty of racing at this part of the circuit today.

04:47Down the hill at the 2.20 R.

04:49And then into the spoon curve.

04:51And position gained for Fernando Alonso.

04:53Now in ninth place.

04:54Pressure on the pit crews as they make these stops.

04:59We were expecting two before the day.

05:02At the start of the Grand Prix.

05:04One is pretty adventurous.

05:06I guess we've been undercut, yeah?

05:09Yes, confirm.

05:12Here comes the move for second position.

05:14It will be eventually.

05:15And this is going to be a tidy pass to the inside.

05:19It's only for third at the moment.

05:20But it will be P2 later on.

05:22This is a DRS zone now for Piastri.

05:25There's the inside defensive shape.

05:27And around the outside to take his place on the podium.

05:30And he will bolt.

05:31He will give it everything he's got now.

05:33The Australian driver up to third.

05:38Leclerc closer this time.

05:39Russell has to defend it.

05:40Here we go.

05:41Trying to go the long way round.

05:42That's what it looks like if you try to overtake it for turn one.

05:45What great pitchers!

05:46Crowd love that move.

05:48We'll invert positions.

05:52Be careful of science with DRS though.

05:54Why don't we invert on the last lap?

05:57And he just hit the DRS like last week.

05:59Unless he's fighting for a bigger result.

06:02So it's an instruction, George.

06:04Swap positions.

06:05And he's going to feather out the throttle.

06:07Does Hamilton take the place?

06:09Yes, he does to the inside.

06:10And then he tries to jump back in.

06:12Russell listening to the team's instruction.

06:15And here's the chance standing on the power as we go down the main straight.

06:20Russell needs that DRS.

06:21He's got the DRS.

06:22But he's also got Carlos Sainz tucked right underneath him.

06:25Russell's going to lose the position.

06:27Into turn one goes Carlos Sainz to take the place away.

06:30And take sixth place.

06:33Max Verstappen comes down in the final corner for the final time.

06:36Max Verstappen wins the Japanese Grand Prix.

06:39Red Bull are champions of the world.

06:42For the sixth time they take the Constructors' title for the second year in a row.

06:48The sixth time in team history.

06:50Max, that was absolutely fantastic.

06:53That was 19.4 ahead of the rest of the field.

06:57And that wins us our sixth Constructors' World Championship.

07:00So congratulations and thank you very much.

07:03You were totally awesome and dominant this weekend.

07:05Yeah, unbelievable guys.

07:07You deserve that.

07:09What an unbelievable season we are having.

07:11You can all be very proud.

07:13You're at the track back at the factory.

07:15Everyone, unbelievable.

07:17Unbelievable.

07:18A 13th Grand Prix win of the year.

07:20A 48th all time for Max Verstappen.

07:23Who is into the arms of his world champion team once again.

07:27His second win at Suzuka.

07:29And both times he's crossed the line to win this race.

07:32Either he or the team have won the title.

07:34It's the team this year.

07:35The next time the five red lights go out for the sprint race in Qatar.

07:39Verstappen has his first chance to take the title.

07:42It lights up when you kiss the back of the trophy.

07:46Max Verstappen does as instructed and it works perfectly.
