Valtteri Bottas has won the Japanese Grand Prix as Mercedes wrap up a sixth- consecutive Formula One constructors’ championship.

Bottas has taken the chequered flag at Suzuka ahead of Sebastian Vettel in a Ferrari and Mercedes teammate Lewis Hamilton, who can capture his sixth world championship title in two weeks at the Mexican GP.

Ferrari had taken a one-two in the day’s earlier qualifying – put back to Sunday as a result of Typhoon Hagibis – but the Italian team’s race was compromised within seconds of the start.

Bottas was able to jump both Ferraris from third on the grid to take the lead, and went on to win his third race this season and the sixth of his F1 career.
