The Japanese Grand Prix gave us an all out race where very little happened. It says a lot when the highlights and replays are mainly drivers missing a chicane. Ah well, it adds another twist to the 2025 season story – Max Verstappen is still very much in the frame for the championship battle.

In Fantast GP terms we have the podium of Verstappen, Norris and Piastri. Verstappen had Pole Position and rookie, Kimi Antonelli took the Fastest Lap. We didn’t have a single Safety Car period. And for the bonus prediction, the correct answer was b) 8th-11th with Albon taking 9th place.

Full results below. Kudos to Tsunoda for keeping his head and coming home in P12. Although, the lead Racing Bull of Hadjar was an impressive 8th – the fastest car outside leading cars.

The next race is Bahrain in a week, so get your team ready for that in the coming days!
