Verstappen found the whole points confusion 'quite funny', having initially thought he hadn't won the F1 title after dominating the JapaneseGP.
By dropping Leclerc from second to third, it meant Verstappen made a 10-point gain after full points were awarded despite only just reaching 50% race distance.
"When I did my interview after the race, then suddenly my mechanics started to cheer, and I was like, what's going on? And then I realised Checo was second instead of Charles, but I still didn't know if it was full points or half points or whatever, 75%, I don't know how you do it. As the regulation for reduced points only refers to races that cannot be resumed, the fact the Japanese Grand Prix reached its three-hour time limit despite only managing 28 of the planned 53 laps meant full points could be awarded."I find it actually quite funny, because at the end of the day, it's not going to change the result.
