Moving up the ranks in the F1 history books

Rosberg’s 23rd career victory in Japan moves him up to 12th on the all-time list of grand prix winners, tied with triple world champion Nelson Piquet. The great Juan Manuel Fangio is up next on 24 successes. Of course, Mercedes team-mate Lewis Hamilton remains third on that same list with 49 wins, behind Alain Prost (51) and Michael Schumacher (91).
