Max Verstappen wins F1 Championship after masterful drive at wet Japanese GP | Sport24news
Runaway championship leader Max Verstappen took pole position on Saturday for the Japanese Grand Prix as he attempts to clinch his second straight world title this weekend in Suzuka.
Norris was forced onto the grass to avoid hitting Verstappen, with the Red Bull driver muttering"unbelievable" over his team radio but later apologising. Verstappen can clinch the title on Sunday if he wins the race with the fastest lap, no matter what his rivals do. The Dutchman will also retain his crown if he wins and Leclerc is third or lower.
"I lost a bit of my duct on that last lap which is why I didn't improve. Tomorrow will be interesting with the weather.""It's a very tricky lap around here, I lost the tyres in the last section so lost some time," said Leclerc after just losing out on pole.
