Kimi Antonelli took a dominant win at the Formula 1 Japanese Grand Prix, seeing off a threat from the resurgent McLaren of Oscar Piastri.
Antonelli was in imperious form at the Japanese Grand Prix, in complete contrast to teammate George Russell, who suffered bad luck, under a Safety Car.
The Safety Car was required to recover Oliver Bearman’s Haas, which suffered a 50G crash at Spoon Curve, the young Briton limping away.
