Lewis Hamilton has extended his World Championship lead over Nico Rosberg by cruising to victory in Japan.
The Mercedes driver drew level with Ayrton Senna on 41 career wins after roaring ahead at the start, and now leads the world title race by 48 points.
Sebastian Vettel came home in third for Ferrari.
It was the perfect response from Hamilton and Mercedes after a disastrous Singapore Grand Prix the week before.
Hamilton was beaten to pole by Rosberg, but overtook his team-mate at the first corner before managing a perfect race.
Afterwards, the Brit said: "Fantastic job, guys. Great to be back up here. You did a flawless job as always."
The Russian Grand Prix comes next on the calendar in two weeks' time.
