World champion Max Verstappen returned to winning ways in style on Sunday when he dominated the Japanese Grand Prix ahead of Sergio Perez for a third Red Bull one-two finish from four season races.
Verstappen collected his 57th career victory in a race that was red-flagged for half an hour after a first-lap collision between RB Visa's Daniel Ricciardo and Esteban Ocon of Alpine.
Verstappen won from Perez and the Ferrari duo of Carlos Sainz and Charles Leclerc, who had dominated two weeks ago in Australia where Verstappen had to retire with a brakes problem and Perez came fifth.
It was the third straight victory from pole in Suzuka for the triple world champion Verstappen who extended his championship lead again, with Perez back in second place.
