In Pictures: Japan 2019
Vettel got pole in a Ferrari front row lockout, but it was Mercedes who got the best of the weekend with Bottas’ win, and Hamilton’s third place and fastest lap of the race, the Germans clinched their sixth consecutive Constructors’ Championship title, a first in F1 history.
QUOTES FROM THE PODIUM
“Congratulations to the team, so well deserved to win six years in a row. I just wanted to get the best points for the team today.”
“We had a very good morning, but the afternoon was less good in terms of the result we were able to achieve as a team. The start wasn’t good for either me or Charles and without that, we could have had both cars fighting at the front. It was difficult today and to be fair. Our rivals were simply quicker, Valtteri was just flying.”
“I’m very happy. I had a really nice start. The pace was super good. I could control the race. I’m really proud to be part of the team. A sixth title is really impressive. I’m so proud of every single team member in the race team and at the factories. It takes a lot of hard work.”
