Australian rookie Oscar Piastri has secured his first podium in Formula 1, finishing third at Sunday's Japanese Grand Prix.
Red Bull secured the F1 constructors' championship with Verstappen's winMax Verstappen all but sealed his third consecutive drivers' championship with victory at Suzuka, while Piastri's teammate Lando Norris finished second.
Verstappen's victory also secured the F1 constructors' championship for Red Bull — their sixth title and second in a row. After a brilliant qualifying session the day before where he qualified second, Piastri might have dreamed about an unlikely victory at the start of Sunday. But after dropping back to third on the first lap and clearly having less race pace than Verstappen and Norris, Piastri drove professionally to secure a career-best third.
