Max Verstappen (RedBull) became world champion for the second time in a row after winning the Formula 1 Japanese Grand Prix, a race that was interrupted for two hours by torrential rain.
Max Verstappen, the second world champion
Charles Leclerc (Ferrari) crossed the finish line in second, but received a 5 second penalty for a chicane error at the end of the lap. Thus, Sergio Perez (RedBull) took the second position, and the Monegasques had to be satisfied with the third place.
“The rules on the awarding of reduced points (Article 6.5) only apply in the event of a race suspension that cannot be resumed, so all points are awarded and Max Verstappen is the world champion.” announced by the FIA.
