Another very niche stat from this weekend is that Sainz was the first driver to win an F1 race having missed the previous one since Gerhard Berger in 1997.

Fernando Alonso put the upgraded Aston Martin fifth on the grid at the Japanese Grand Prix
But team-mate Lance Stroll is having "one of those weekends", having struggled to P16 on the grid: |

Was an interesting race, especially from a strategy perspective.
I see people are piling on Danny Ric for the crash. I'd rather see how his pace is over the next few races. Great to see Yuki make the top 10 - although I think he was helped by Hulkenberg being bogged down on the restart Sainz still the better Ferrari but Leclerc did a good job on the strategy Bravo to Mercedes as well for their choices - great to see Russell with a strong(er) end after the last race! Surely Stroll and Sargeant should have their days numbered. Stroll was just poor and Sargeant seemed to be on better pace until his mistake. Then he was in no man's land (story of his life...)

Ignoring the crash Ricciardo is getting schooled by Tsunoda this season, they need to get Lawson in the other car pronto.

The only reason you have one of the oldest drivers on the grid in the Red Bull second team is because there's a chance he'll soon be in the main team, and there was so much talk pre-season about whether Ricciardo would replace Perez. At the moment, Perez has done what Red Bull want him to do in 3 of 4 races, whilst all Ricciardo is doing is proving his McLaren form wasn't unlucky or unrepresentative.

Yep and I myself thought he would retake that seat eventually but it's clear now he's not gonna get his best form back again. Perez has done well so far this year but let's remember he started last year even better and ended it basically a meme. |

I think with Perez he's previously fallen to pieces after winning a couple of races and being talked up for the title and spoken about how he wants to beat Max, probably putting too much pressure on himself. It now feels a bit like he's realised and admitted his place and more at peace with it, in which case he might be more consistent in doing what Red Bull want him to do. At the moment it's looking close to 0 chance he gets replaced by Ricciardo, so RB may as well get Lawson in early after his performances last year.
As for Sargent, I've become convinced he only got a second season because of Antonelli. Mercedes will want him in F1 next year and that's the likely seat lined up for him whilst he's not yet ready for the main team, Williams probably thought it was pointless having a different driver for this in-between season, especially as no other drivers became available. They've proven they're not really behind him with the Aus decision and he's not exactly done anything in Japan to make them think they might have got it wrong.

There's still a small glimmer for Ricciardo, in that Horner remains an admirer of his and will vouch for him, as would Max. And the other factor is that Daniel likes a car that handles in a very similar way to how Max does. Sharp at the front end and looser in the rear. Their driving styles are quite similar, which would suggest he could still perform in the Red Bull, if given a chance. Whether those in the team would be willing to take that gamble is a big if though and only another test would give them any inidicators but that's not really possible.
As for Stroll, there are still a fair few rumours that daddy may be looking to sell for the right price rather than admit defeat. |

Alonso has signed on for a further two years at Aston Martin, which will reunite him with Honda engines once again.
Probably a smart move given his options right now. |

Marca are reporting that Sainz to Mercedes is as good as a done deal.
Reports elsewhere are also suggesting that both Renault and Red Bull would be willing to sell their teams (RB in the latter example) for the right terms. Meanwhile, Andretti Global are pressing ahead with their plans for 2026 by opening a state of the art facility in Silverstone, and F2 team Prema have announced they will field two cars in next years Indy championship rather than look to F1. |

Blimey, that was an action packed Sprint Quali! Shame the Sprint itself is a 4AM
