Suzuka has often been a stage for iconic moments in Formula 1, and this year was no different. Red Bull, after a year of significant success, sealed their fate at the revered Japanese track. 

The Marina Bay Circuit in Singapore had been a small hiccup in Red Bull's journey. Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez faced challenges with the RB19. However, a twist of fate in the form of George Russell's crash gave the team an unforeseen advantage.

As the teams lined up in Japan, Red Bull just needed to maintain their point gap over Mercedes and ensure Ferrari didn't catch up by more than 24 points. Given the team's formidable form this season, the F1 world widely expected this triumph.

Yet, challenges arose during the race. Sergio Perez faced an unfortunate retirement, placing the weight of the championship on Verstappen's shoulders. Proving his mettle, the Dutch driver rose to the occasion, ensuring the team clinched the title.

It's notable that apart from the blip in Singapore, where Ferrari's Carlos Sainz took the top spot, Red Bull has been unstoppable, winning every race in the 2023 season.
