While Max Verstappen has become world champion, his team Red Bull Racing have to wait a little longer. With Ferrari scoring with only one driver and Red Bull finishing the Japanese GP with a one-two finish, they can finish the job in the United States.
43 points scored in Japan
Red Bull had a very strong weekend with Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez winning and finishing second. The Dutchman was once again crowned Formula 1 world champion at the Suzuka circuit.
Red Bull currently holds a 165-point lead over their nearest rival Ferrari. If this lead exceeds 147 points after the race at the Circuit of the Americas, the constructors' championship will also be secured. Red Bull thus has this entirely in its own hands.
