On the other side of the grid, Red Bull looked to bounce back from a disappointing Australian Grand Prix. Max Verstappen, who secured pole position for the Japanese race, was hungry for redemption after a heartbreaking mechanical failure denied him the chance of beating his own record of consecutive wins.

Starting alongside him in second place was team-mate Sergio Perez, and both drivers were eager to reassert the Milton Keynes outfit's dominance and return to the 1-2 finishes they achieved in the first two rounds in Bahrain and Saudi Arabia.
