Max Verstappen returned to the top of the podium with a gutsy lights-to-flag victory at the 2025 Japanese Grand Prix, edging out McLaren’s fast-charging duo in a dramatic late-race showdown.
Starting as the +120 favorite with Formula 1 season.
The win narrows the gap at the top of the Drivers’ Championship standings to just a single point behind Norris.
McLaren once again showcased their elite race pace, locking out P2 and P3 with Norris and Piastri, respectively.
Piastri in particular showed late-race aggression but opted for a measured approach through the technical S-curves, securing a second straight podium.
Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc delivered a quiet but composed run to finish fourth, ahead of Mercedes’ George Russell and impressive rookie Kimi Antonelli, who continues to rack up points with another top-six result.
Further back, Racing Bulls rookie Isack Hadjar was the breakout performer, scoring his first career points with a P8 finish after strong pace in both qualifying and the race.

Biggest Winners – 2025 F1 Japanese Grand Prix
Max Verstappen – Under pressure and against McLaren’s raw speed, Verstappen was ice-cold when it mattered most. His first win of 2025 puts him right back in the Drivers’ Championship fight and should see his title odds shorten across major F1 betting apps.
McLaren – Another P2/P3 combo cements them as the fastest car in race conditions. Norris and Piastri are both inside the top three in the standings, and McLaren continues to widen its lead in the Constructors’ title chase. Expect McLaren futures to keep steaming in.
Isack Hadjar – One of the toughest circuits in the world, and the 19-year-old Frenchman made it look easy. Scoring points at Suzuka shows he belongs in F1—and might be a future fantasy pick-up or longshot prop bet darling.
Biggest Blunders – 2025 F1 Japanese Grand Prix
Aston Martin – Neither driver scored, and Lance Stroll was lapped. With rumors swirling about Alonso’s future, it’s clear Aston is off the pace, and it may be time to look toward 2026.
Alpine – Another weekend to forget. Pierre Gasly and Jack Doohan were never in contention, and questions about Doohan’s long-term place in F1 are starting to grow louder. Back-to-back non-point finishes aren’t helping their Constructors’ case either.
