Japanese GP: Max Verstappen leads Red Bull one-two in final practice

Max Verstappen established himself as a favourite for Japanese Grand Prix qualifying by leading a one-two with Red Bull team-mate Sergio Perez in final practice at Suzuka. Having had his nine-race winning streak ended in Australia last time out, Verstappen continued what looks set to be a strong response from Red Bull as his time of 1:29.563 put him 0.269s clear of Perez. Mercedes continued to show promise as George Russell claimed third.
