Suzuka

McLaren driver Lando Norris is down to his final permitted battery pack for the F1 season after a power unit issue at the Japanese Grand Prix, with a 10-place grid penalty looming if a fourth is needed later this year.

Kimi Antonelli won the Japanese Grand Prix at Suzuka, becoming the youngest driver to lead the Formula 1 World Championship at 19 years old. His victory, aided by a safety car intervention, gave him a nine-point lead over teammate George Russell.

Max Verstappen refused to start a media session at the Japanese Grand Prix until journalist Giles Richards left the room, stemming from a past question about a collision with George Russell. The incident has sparked a planned clear-the-air meeting and drawn attention to Verstappen's history of media disputes.

A collision between Alex Albon and Sergio Perez during Friday practice at the Japanese Grand Prix resulted in damage to both cars, with stewards attributing the incident to a misunderstanding and lack of team communication.
