Max Verstappen is the 2022 Formula 1 world champion, but only had it confirmed after a fiasco over points post-race in Japan.

Suzuka regularly throws up drama around a potential title decider and, in the end, that is what we got again on Sunday at the iconic circuit.

After a lengthy delay due to a red flag and heavy rain, we had around 50 minutes of racing action and it was Max Verstappen who took the win, ahead of Charles Leclerc and Sergio Perez on track.

Leclerc, though, saw himself demoted down to third a matter of minutes after the chequered flag after a late mistake in the final corner saw him cut the chicane and be given a time penalty, after being deemed to have unfairly retained a position in front of Perez.
