Japanese Grand Prix 2023 results: Final classification with penalties applied after stunning DOUBLE McLaren podium
Despite a predictable return to the top spot for Max Verstappen, the Japanese Grand Prix proved an action-packed race as Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri scored a double podium finish for McLaren.
The British and Australian drivers ran an incredible race, giving Verstappen a run for his money on lap one, but neither could overtake the Dutchman as he flew to an easy victory at Suzuka.
Elsewhere, five drivers did not finish the race. Verstappen's team-mate Sergio Perez suffered a nightmare with several clashes and a time penalty – which he sensationally served after unretiring from the race for a brief moment.
Intriguing inter-team dynamics were at play as Ferrari and Mercedes battled for second place behind Red Bull, with Mercedes' George Russell seemingly unimpressed with the team's choice of strategy.
