F1 Results: Japanese GP final classification after penalties applied

After an eventful Japanese Grand Prix, which included a first lap red flag, the final classification is in.

The FIA have released their final classification following the conclusion of the race in Suzuka, confirming that there were three unclassified drivers (Daniel Ricciardo and Alex Albon who collided, plus the technically afflicted Zhou Guanyu) and the penalties handed out (there weren't any).

Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez were back with a bang after disappointment in Australia two weeks ago, finishing first and second – and were never really challenged.
