After starting in Row 2 ahead of the all Ferrari lockout on Row 1, Valtteri Bottas for Mercedes-AMG starts the race by overtaking both Ferraris before Turn 1 and goes on to win the FORMULA 1 JAPANESE GRAND PRIX 2019. Sebastian Vettel for Ferrari, who started on Pole finished 2nd and Lewis Hamilton for Mercedes-AMG finished 3rd. The Podium finishes for both Mercedes-AMG drivers gave the Mercedes-AMG team enough points to lockdown the Constructor’s Championship for the 6th straight year. Hamilton also won the fastest lap of the race point. With only 4 races left to go this season based on the points lead that the Mercedes-AMG drivers have over the rest of the field means that a Mercedes-AMG driver will win the Driver’s Championship, we just don’t know which one yet, will it be Hamilton or Bottas?
