Daniel Ricciardo led a Red Bull one-two as a distraught lewis Hamilton's hopes of regaining the world championship lead went up in smoke at a dramatic, action-packed Malaysian Grand Prix on Sunday.
Championship leader Nico Rosberg survived a first-bend spin involving Sebastian Vettel and a 10-second penalty to take third place and extend the gap over Mercedes teammate Hamilton to 23 points with just five races remaining.
Verstappen, who turned 19 on Friday, celebrated his podium finish and his birthday by also drinking the sweaty cocktail. Rosberg sliced his way back through the field imperiously after the first corner drama and was surprised to make the podium.
Meanwhile, Sahara Force India enjoyed yet another double points finish in the 2016 Formula One season with Sergio Perez finishing a strong sixth and Nico Hulkenberg eighth.
