The circus heads to entertain its Asian fans once again with the Japanese GP weekend afoot. However, with just five races to go, the question of the championship winner has become when and not who. Max Verstappen is comfortably leading the charts, with Charles Leclerc and Ferrari failing to keep up the fight.

Ferrari started the season brilliantly, with powerful performances. However, the Italian team soon became victims of their unreliability and poor strategic calls. Ferrari not only lost the championship lead to Red Bull but also started lagging to challenge for the drivers’ championship.
