Max Verstappen beats Lewis Hamilton to win F1 Malaysian Grand Prix

Max Verstappen took his first victory of the Formula 1 season with a dominant drive in the final Malaysian GP, as Sebastian Vettel recovered from starting last to take fourth

11:51 Back to Verstappen: "Especially after the season I've had, this victory came at a very good time..."

He's cut short by a blast of champagne from Hamilton!

11:51 Ricciardo: "He drove well all weekend. Great race for the team. Seb came so quick at the end and I thought I was going to have a handful."

11:49 Hamilton on the title: "I feel good. We still have work to do. There's some [races] we can for sure win."

11:49 Hamilton: "Big congratulations to Max. We needed that. The race was a tough one, they just had the upper hand on us today."

11:48 Former Red Bull driver Mark Webber conducting the podium interviews.

Verstappen: "From the beginning the car felt good and I could see Lewis struggle. I went for it Turn 1, and from there I could do my own race. If I needed to speed up I could. Incredible to win."

11:47

11:47 Champaaaaaaaaaaaaaagne showers as Jos Verstappen looks up at his son celebrating a second GP win.

11:46 Trophy time. Verstappen gets his winner's pot from the Malaysian prime minister. Hamilton looks pretty happy with second place.

11:44

11:43 The top three are on the podium and the Dutch national anthem rings out for the second time in Verstappen's F1 career.

11:42 Vettel's battered Ferrari is now being lifted away by a recovery vehicle.

11:41

11:41 "I could have closed that door..." Hamilton says to Verstappen.

"But you're fighting for the championship," Verstappen finishes.

11:40 "Do we have some sugary drinks?"

Verstappen with the youngest-sounding question in the cool-down room.

11:39 Wehrlein's slowly made his way to the pits with his passenger aboard. Wonder if the FIA will look into this taxi journey...

11:39 Meanwhile, the top three have made it back and several others are getting weighed. Verstappen getting congratulations from his fellow drivers.

11:38 Vettel gets a lift back from Wehrlein – takes his steering wheel with him, too.

11:37 Big damage on Vettel's car. The left rear wheel's ripped off and is atop the rear, over the engine cover.

Replays show, Vettel driving round the outside of Stroll into Turn 5 – and then the two making contact.

"Vettel just drove into the side of me," reports Stroll.

11:36 Vettel complains: "That's impossible. Stroll's not looking where he's going. He's shunted into my car."

11:36 Vettel's got three wheels! The left-rear has folded over the top of the car.

11:36 "YES! WOO! Ha ha ha ha ha"

Verstappen's very happy.

"Happy birthday," says his engineer.

"Great start to a new decade for you," jokes Horner.

11:35 Jubilant scenes in the Red Bull garage and also among the Verstappen fans in the crowd.

11:35 Perez, Vandoorne, Stroll, Massa and Ocon complete the points finishers.

11:34 Hamilton takes second, and Ricciardo does the Mercedes driver a big favour in the championship by keeping Vettel off the podium. Bottas finishes a distant fifth.

11:33 Max Verstappen wins the Malaysian Grand Prix!

11:33 Anyway, here comes Verstappen, the chequered flag awaits...

11:33 Vettel was nearly five seconds slower than Ricciardo last time around. That'll cool the engine...

11:32 Vettel's pace has fallen off a cliff. If his car is capable of attacking now, he's seemingly making a point by not doing it now third is out of reach.

11:32 Gasly defends from Grosjean into the final corner, keeps him behind...

...but not for long. Grosjean goes round the outside, locks up, but holds it as the circuit comes back in his favour.

Gasly bravely tries to fight back at the Turn 5/6 esses, but it's P13 for Grosjean.

11:32 To answer our own question about Vettel - he's seven seconds behind Ricciardo, so yes, it is too late.

11:31 "Engine is fine, attack now," Vettel is told. So it seems it wasn't tyres that Ferrari had to manage there for a few laps. Two laps to go - is it too late?

11:31 Gasly's still keeping Magnussen honest, but has the other Haas of Grosjean the same distance behind him.

11:30 "I think you've broken Vettel's spirit, he's having to look after his tyres," Ricciardo is told. That gap is up to 3.8s now. That shows how crucial that bold defence against the Ferrari was when Vettel launched what has turned out to be his only attack. Some drivers would have considered it inevitable they would lose the place after being caught at one second per lap, but Ricciardo was having none of it and he's got his reward for it - providing he makes it to the end unscathed.

11:26 Vettel is 2.6s behind Ricciardo now, so it seems that fight has been called off.

11:26 Hulkenberg's given up on this set of tyres as his pace continues to drop, and he's in the pits.

11:26

11:25

11:25 Since that bold defence on Vettel a couple of laps ago, Ricciardo has managed to get out of DRS range of the Ferrari as well. Time for Vettel to regroup and work out a new plan. Hamilton is out of reach now, so he just needs to work out a way to get around the Red Bull.
