On Saturday, Verstappen managed to qualify his troublesome RB21 ahead of both McLarens, giving Red Bull their first P1 start of the season.

That flawless performance continued into Sunday, leading the Grand Prix at Suzuka from the front and never relinquishing his lead, giving the Dutchman his first victory of the season.
