Japanese Grand Prix: Max Verstappen's class the only certainty on 'confusing & weird' day for F1
Verstappen has now won 32 grands prix - equal with fellow two-time champion Fernando Alonso and one more than 1992 champion Nigel Mansell
Horner said: "What was supposed to be fixed following Spa is unspecified in the regs, so unexpectedly we won. From Verstappen's, his crowning moment in a season in which he has been magnificently peerless was at least partially overshadowed.He can afford to be magnanimous, after the sort of year he has had.
Japan was Verstappen's 12th win in 18 races, and his fifth in the last six. With four grands prix still to go, it seems inevitable that he will smash the record for most wins in a season, currently held at 13 by his predecessor at Red Bull Sebastian Vettel and Michael Schumacher during his Ferrari pomp.
At the time, Verstappen felt that gap would be difficult to close. But then Ferrari's season imploded in a torrent of engine failures and strategy errors - and a couple from Leclerc himself.
