Red Bull’s Max Verstappen has officially clinched his second-consecutive Formula 1 championship after surviving a rain-soaked Japanese Grand Prix.
Verstappen claimed the title after finishing first in the race.
Coming into the race, Verstappen had a 104-point lead over Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc and a 106-point lead over teammate Sergio Perez, who were the only other two racers who could still mathematically beat Verstappen. Leclerc finished third and Perez finished second after Leclerc received a five-second penalty to give Verstappen the title.
The win comes with four more races still on the F1 schedule.
