Valtteri Bottas jumped from third to first with an electric start to win the Japanese Grand Prix on Sunday ahead of Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel and the Finn's Mercedes teammate Lewis Hamilton.
Charles Leclerc could only finish sixth in the second Ferrari, meaning Mercedes clinched a record sixth successive constructors' world championship with their double podium finish.
"I'm happy, very happy," said Bottas.
"Starting third isn't easy. I had a really nice start, managed to get the lead and then the pace was super good, I could really control the race."
"I lost momentum there. Mercedes had more pace than us, was a tough afternoon to maintain second."
