Verstappen entered the race with a 104-point advantage over Ferrari's Charles Leclerc and a 106-point lead over teammate Sergio Perez, the only other two riders with a mathematical chance of beating Verstappen.

After receiving a five-second penalty, Leclerc finished third while Perez finished second as Verstappen surpassed them both and was crowned with the title for a second time.

The victory comes with four more races left on the F1 calendar.
