The final race of the season was no short of exciting! Max Verstappen drove a dominant race to take home his 19th win of the season for Red Bull. His teammate, Sergio Perez, also drove well, keeping his car in the podium position for the majority of the race until he had to serve a 5 second time penalty. This put him in 4th position, behind the Mercedes of George Russell. Charles Leclerc fought hard to get Ferrari ahead of Mercedes in the constructors points, but at the end they were short just 3 points. Leclerc got to take home second place in the final race of the season.
The McLaren drivers both had very strong races. Lando Norris finished in 5th and Oscar Piastri finished in 6th. Fernando Alonso came home in 7th for Aston Martin while his teammate, Lance Stroll, claimed the last point to finish in 10th. The Alfa Romeo drivers definitely struggled this race with Guanyu Zhou finishing in 17th and Valtteri Bottas finishing in 18th. Carlos Sainz had to retire the car in the final stages of the race, and he was the only DNF.
