Behind the untouchable Verstappen and Red Bull, McLaren showed its best side by achieving a double podium thanks to Norris and Piastri. The young Australian is actually the first rookie driver since 2017 to step onto the podium. Do you remember the name of his predecessor? Hint: He is Canadian and still on the grid!

📊 Oscar Piastri is the first rookie to step onto the podium since 2017! So well deserved for his entire season 👏 #F1 #JapaneseGP pic.twitter.com/pLL8oAvK7M— Off Track (@OffTrack_FR) September 24, 2023

This Grand Prix also marked the return to the paddocks of the four-time world champion Sebastian Vettel. Once again, the German driver proved his immense popularity by gathering all the drivers and team bosses from the grid this Thursday to repaint a kerbstone in yellow and black, in connection with bee conservation. He is undeniably missed in Formula 1 today!

Sebastian Vettel brought together all teams and drivers in Suzuka to build ‘bee hotels’ on the inside of Turn 2 as part of his biodiversity project 🥰

On the side of poor performance, how can we not mention Sergio Pérez first? It was a real disastrous race for the Mexican driver who broke two front wings and had to retire during this Grand Prix, which did not fail to inspire our friends on the web.

Kevin Magnussen was indeed the second victim of Sergio Perez, as he was hit at the hairpin. This contact didn’t sit well with the Haas team leaders, who even posted a little tweet comparing the various incidents (including the one involving the Mexican driver) to a Mario Kart race…

Seems more like a game of Mario Kart out there so far today! #HaasF1 #JapaneseGP pic.twitter.com/JHvcBtYyYG — MoneyGram Haas F1 Team (@HaasF1Team) September 24, 2023

However, the Mexican driver has returned to the track to serve his numerous penalties in order to prevent them from being carried over to Qatar.

On the podium, the winners were given a special trophy! Indeed, by kissing the trophy, the national flag of the respective driver would instantly light up. There’s no stopping progress!

The trophies awarded on the podium this weekend will light up when the drivers kiss a dedicated area! 💋🏆
