Max Verstappen delivered a victory to honour the memory of Red Bull team founder and owner Dietrich Mateschitz.

“This one is definitely dedicated to Dietrich,” Verstappen said. He added a second team to the Red Bull stable when he bought the Minardi program renamed it Toro Rosso in 2006 to be a program for training younger drivers. Mateschitz, the Austrian billionaire co-founder of the Red Bull energy drinks global empire, bought the Jaguar team in 2004 and rebranded it as Red Bull in 2005. Verstappen vowed he’d give everything to get the win to honor him. “The only thing we could do today was win.” But Verstappen fought back to pass last season’s rival for the championship on lap 50 of 56.

But what can be done to alleviate disruption like that which was seen in Suzuka?

Dietrich Mateschitz, the co-founder of Red Bull who became a major player in motorsports and other sports, is dead at 78, according to the F1 team.

Later that year, he then also bought Minardi and renamed it Toro Rosso, astutely using the team as a feed team for Red Bull. German league regulations prevented the company from naming the team Red Bull Leipzig – its name in German, RasenBallsport, means “grass ball sport Leipzig” but the club just refers to itself as RB Leipzig. Red Bull says Mateschitz worked on the formula for three years before the modified drink was launched under its new name in his native Austria in 1987. Red Bull operates soccer teams in top divisions across Austria, Germany, Brazil and the United States. With the growing success of Red Bull, he significantly expanded his investments in sports. He was always enthusiastic, encouraging and supportive on the good days and the bad days,” Horner said.

Red Bull Formula 1 drivers past and present have paid tribute to company founder Dietrich Mateschitz, who passed away on Saturday at the age of 78.

But even as I say it, I'm like, Carlos Sainz has been driving so strong, he's amazing, Lando is starting to peak at the right time, so it's hard to say. He'll be like, ‘I was in Monaco in 1999 and this happened’, and having that experience of a guy knowing how hard it was and doing it at the highest level and succeeding, it's really, really cool. Max [Verstappen] looks really unbeatable, we all see it week to week, he just finds a way to drive faster, drive smarter, just make all the right moves. ESPN's taking a greater interest in it as well, and now I think that Amazon getting involved, I think it's going to change the game. I know Danny [Ricciardo] a little bit and I love him but I still have so much respect for him and what he does. I have more and more friends who say, "Don't tell me what happened because I'm recording the race and I want to watch it later." There's so much fun to be had in Formula 1, it's such a great thing, so I think we're trying to bring that kind of energy. So they heard Danny Ricciardo on Smartless, then subsequent to that, when Amp decided that they wanted to get into this space in F1, obviously they got Mika Hakkinen, who's a two-time champ and a legend, then they got other sports people like Katie Osborne and Michelle Beadle, who can speak to sports and know how to drive sports commentary, and The Kid Mero. And I'm learning on the job and hopefully people listening are kind of learning with me. Like a lot of people, Formula 1 was something that kind of existed out there and that I would sort of not really pay attention to. It was so immediate that I found myself looking at, not just the races, but I've got to watch qualis, I've got to see all of it, because you get into the drama of it all. What you might not associate with Will Arnett is a love of Formula 1.

Red Bull was unable to beat Mercedes to the constructors' championship last year despite Verstappen claiming the drivers' title. "I think Dietrich would have quite enjoyed that race, from above, to see us overtake a Mercedes with five, six laps to go to win the constructors championship. The championship win marks the end of the Mercedes era of dominance, which dates back to 2014, when F1 switched to turbo-hybrid engines.

Sainz, however, declared that the move which Russell attempted was below what he would expect of someone who had started on the front two rows of the grid. Sainz emerged dead last and retreated to the pits with what he reported was a puncture, but retired with radiator damage anyway. The Ferrari driver qualified on pole position at the Circuit of the Americas and was looking to tuck into second position exiting the first corner when he was unloaded by the Mercedes pilot who had started on Row 2.
