Max Verstappen showed his class once again at Suzuka, winning the Japanese Grand Prix 2025 for a record fourth time in a row. Starting from pole, the Dutch driver stayed in control from start to finish, despite pressure from the two McLarens. Lando Norris took second place, while Oscar Piastri—on his 24th birthday—finished third.
