Max Verstappen got back to winning ways at the 2023 Japanese Grand Prix as he put on a dominant showing to both lead from start to finish and to seal the constructors title for Red Bull again this year.
After taking the crown last season, no other team ever looked close to getting near the Austrian constructors this time around as they've won all but one race to seal a sixth such title in the sport.
Their closest competitors right now are arguably McLaren who enjoyed a double podium finish at Suzuka as they continue to go from strength to strength. Both Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri looked to jump Verstappen off the starting line but just failed to make it stick and instead came home in P2 and P3 respectively.
