Max Verstappen takes second straight F1 drivers' title with Japan win
Two titles for Verstappen signals a changing of the guard in F1, even if Verstappen's championship-clinching races will forever be remembered for their controversial endings.
The entire paddock seemed surprised when the FIA then ruled full points would be awarded. But even that wasn't enough: Leclerc received a post-race penalty that dropped thedriver from second to third and officially gave Verstappen the points margin needed to clinch the title with four races remaining.
“What is this tractor on track? I passed next to it,” Gasly radioed his AlphaTauri team. “This is unacceptable. Remember what has happened. Can’t believe this.”Red Bull team principal Christian Horner and Perez were also incensed. But just like last year, when Mercedes threatened for four days to take the Abu Dhabi finish to the highest sporting appeals panel, Verstappen is again waiting to see if his two titles are intact.
