The Star
|April 08, 2025
MAX Verstappen won the Japanese Grand Prix from pole ahead of teammate Sergio Perez, with Lando Piastri in third as Red Bull dominated and Tsunoda finished 12th in his Red Bull debut.

Here are three talking points from the third race weekend on the 24-lever rule Formula One calendar.
Never rule out Max
Verstappen had endured a difficult start to the season by his stellar standards but the four-time world champion gave another reminder of his timeless talent at Suzuka.
After an unremarkable practice performance, the Dutchman reeled off a last-gasp lap for the ages in qualifying to snatch the position from Norris. Verstappen then went about his business, flying into Turn 1, fashioning a Sunday race, establishing his dominance early on and never looking like giving up his lead.
Norris took a peek at him as the pair emerged from the pits together but Verstappen bit straight back, forcing the McLaren driver to back off into the grass.
