Red Bull Racing is on the verge of its sixth triumph in the constructors’ cup following 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2022. The racing team from Milton Keynes might have made everything clear in Singapore – with a double victory and a clear lap at the same time from their pursuer Mercedes-Benz.
But things turned out differently at the night GP: Red Bull Racing struggled all weekend and was beaten for the first time in 2023 and even remained without a podium finish for the first time this season.
So now a new attempt in Japan: To ensure winning the constructors’ cup in Suzuka (on the 17th of 22 GP weekends), RBR has to win one more point than Mercedes. And Ferrari is not allowed to score 23 World Championship points or more than Red Bull Racing.
In 2022, Max Verstappen secured his second Drivers’ World Championship title at Honda’s Suzuka circuit. Winning the title in 2023 on the same track is not possible. Max Verstappen can only win his third title in a row on the Qatar GP weekend at the earliest (Sprint on October 7th, Grand Prix on October 8th).
