Red Bull’s Max Verstappen took a dominant victory in the Malaysian Grand Prix as Lewis Hamilton extended his championship lead with second place.
Hamilton’s title rival Sebastian Vettel recovered impressively from the back of the grid in his Ferrari after engine problems in qualifying to finish fourth and minimise the damage to his title hopes.
But the German has slipped to 34 points behind the Mercedes driver with five races to go and a maximum of 125 points still available.
Hamilton could do nothing about Verstappen but will be pleased after taking second place and gaining ground on Vettel on what turned into a difficult weekend for Mercedes.
An easy win after a difficult year…
