Mercedes-AMG Petronas Motorsport have won the FIA Formula One Constructors’ Championship for the sixth time in a row.
Lewis Hamilton and Bottas Valtteri are the only two drivers who can still win the Drivers’ Championship, securing the sixth consecutive Drivers’ Title for the team as well – making Mercedes-AMG Petronas Motorsport the first team in Formula One history to win both titles six times in a row.
Valtteri claimed his sixth victory in Formula One, his third of the 2019 season and first at the Japanese Grand Prix.
Lewis finished the race in P3 claiming an additional point for the fastest lap – his fourth fastest lap at the Japanese Grand Prix, equalling Michael Schumacher’s record for the most fastest laps in Japan.
Today’s result marks the 100th points finish for Valtteri.
Lewis (338 points) leads the Drivers’ Championship by 64 points from Valtteri (274 points) with Charles Leclerc (221) a further 53 points behind, giving only Merc's two drivers the chance to win the 2019 Drivers’ Title.
Mercedes-AMG Petronas Motorsport (612 points) leads Ferrari (435 points) by 177 points – an unassailable lead in the Constructors’ Championship.
Eric Blandin, Chief Aerodynamicist, accepted the Constructors’ trophy on behalf of the team.
