Max Verstappen secured a victory at the 2023 Japanese Grand Prix, with his P1 medal and pole position award now on display. The event was marked by several incidents, including a crash by Alex Albon in the Williams chassis and Daniel Ricciardo crashing out, which is being sent back for repairs in preparation for the Chinese GP. Yuki Tsunoda, reflecting on the race, highlighted the crucial role of his team's mechanics in overcoming challenges to finish in P10. The race also saw a strong performance from Charles Leclerc, who gained four positions. Despite a challenging race for Mercedes, with Lewis, George, and Toto acknowledging the team's current pace issues, the team found it a useful experience for understanding their W15 car better. The Japanese GP was notable for the enthusiastic support for Verstappen, including a special appearance at the podium.
