Mercedes won the Design Cup for the sixth time in a row

This happened after the victory of the Finnish pilot Valtteri Bottas at the Japanese Grand Prix, as well as the third place of his teammate Briton Lews Hamilton at the same stage.

After 17 stages, Mercedes has 611 points, while the closest pursuers from Ferrari have 435 points. Thus, Mercedes became inaccessible to rivals.

It was previously reported that Bottas won the Japanese Grand Prix.
