Rain clouds brought a silver lining for Max Verstappen and Red Bull Racing in a weather-shortened race at Suzuka.

The series moves on to Oct. Then he was told of the penalty to Leclerc, and a slightly stunned if not confused Verstappen allowed himself a smile. "I'm just happy we got to race," Verstappen said at the finish. Leclerc's teammate, Carlos Sainz Jr., hydroplaned in the wet conditions and spun off the track, hitting the barrier. Leclerc's Ferrari had pulled ahead slightly at the start, but Verstappen managed to gather his Red Bull Racing car and nosed ahead before the first turn, and then quickly opened a gap. "I'm glad we got to race," Verstappen said at the finish.

DRIVERS1 – Max VERSTAPPEN (Red Bull Racing)2 – Sergio PÉREZ (Red Bull Racing)3 – Charles LECLERC (Ferrari)

We had a quite competitive car, I knew it was going to be quite close, you know, in the coming races, but I was like, you know, this is a gap which we cannot give away anymore. But I think we also, we know that we have to fix it quickly. But you know, both are beautiful and both are, at the end of the day, nice to experience because it's nice also really have always the pressure on and having to perform to your limit every single lap of the race. And there's a lot of pressure, because people are demanding a lot and you need to perform, and you need to show results. And of course, a very special year, which will be very hard, I think, in the future to match from myself, I think as well. So whatever we can do to try and improve the visibility and minimise the spray, especially behind the cars, this will be hugely beneficial because I believe that sometimes we can actually run for the conditions of the track but just because of the visibility, because it's so dangerous being behind and you don't see anything, that we end up not running at all. MV: Of course, I arrived there first and I saw the crane and I have perfect visibility but when you're behind, you always try to drive out of the spray: you go left or you go right, because you can't really see anything and that is when things happen. And I mean, the championship, of course, it would have been great to win here but we have a great opportunity of course for the next race. I think the first time, when we were on laps to the grid, the track was looking alright, even for inters, but I think it picked up before the race start and especially, I think, during the first lap it picked up even more. At the end it was so yeah, very pleased but it also makes you reflect on the whole season and we had a lot of very special moments, of course. Obviously Checo was putting quite a bit of pressure behind and I was really, really struggling with both of my front tyres so yeah, at the end, I ended up making a mistake but we were really, struggling today. At the end, we could race and the race itself we could manage really well with the car, with the tyres so of course very happy to win here.
