The World Championship leader from Red Bull relegated the two strong McLaren drivers Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri to the other places at the Suzuka International Racing Course. The competitors were unable to counter Verstappen’s best time of 1:30.267 minutes. In the end, Norris was 0.240 seconds behind, Piastri 0.288 seconds.
Haas driver Nico Hülkenberg didn’t get past 15th position before qualifying (8 a.m. CET/Sky). Record world champion Lewis Hamilton had to settle for seventh place in the Mercedes.
Verstappen and his teammate Sergio Perez, who finished fourth in the third training session, are already seven Grands Prix away from winning the constructors’ world championship with Red Bull. The duo must score at least one point more than Mercedes, but at the same time they must not lose more than 24 points to Ferrari.
