It was held between 7 October and 9 October 2016. Nico Rosberg took his third consecutive pole at the Suzuka Circuit, while Lewis Hamilton joined him on the front row. Rosberg led the race from the start, while Hamilton had another bad getaway that put him into eighth place between the first and second corners. Fighting through the field, Hamilton tried to close on Max Verstappen, but Verstappen's change of direction in the braking zone at the Casio Triangle chicane on their penultimate lap caused Hamilton to take the escape road and remain behind Verstappen. Rosberg took his only win at the Suzuka Circuit, and the final win of his F1 career, extending the gap to Hamilton in the Drivers' Championship to thirty-three points. Verstappen finished in second place while Hamilton finished third, securing Mercedes their third constructors' title. __TOC__
