ESPN rounds up the main talking points from the Malaysian Grand Prix after Max Verstappen secured the second win of his career and Lewis Hamilton took another solid step towards a fourth world title.
Shock: On a weekend when the headlines were dominated by Mercedes and Ferrari, it was easy to overlook the pace of the Red Bull. But while the two championship-challenging teams struggled with very different issues, Max Verstappen and Red Bull came to the fore and took a well-deserved victory. Make no mistake, this was a race won on merit by a driver who has suffered more than his fair share of bad luck this season but has continued to perform at the highest level.
