Valtteri Bottas became the first driver to win a Grand Prix at Suzuka from the second row of the grid, and the ecstatic Finn said it couldn’t have gone any better as Mercedes also secured their sixth consecutive constructors’ championship.

Results have been delayed by the Japanese Grand Prix results, to date, at Formula1.com being provisional due to a Racing Point protest of the Renault cars. They results still are provisional as I write this and are thus subject to change. ~Michael

Top Point Drives of the Day

  1. Valtteri Bottas (Mercedes) 33 points: benefitting from a horror Vettel start and pulling away from the Ferraris
  2. Daniel Ricciardo (Renault) 33 points: sixth place (and under protest) with some great passing and defending late-race after starting P16
  3. Alexander Albon (Red Bull Racing-Honda) 20 points: topped his row-mate and teammate and narrowly missed the podium

Our Game

While nobody could say they picked the Japanese Grand Prix winner, Tim found himself with the better driver in eight of the ten rows (all scoring), including picking Alexander Albon.

There were no changes to our rankings, but positions 1 through 4 have moved closer together, with Evan continuing to top our table with four races remaining.
