Ritomo Miyata secured the Super Formula championship title in the final race of the season, finishing third and becoming Toyota's first champion since 2019. Miyata made a crucial pass on Tomoki Nojiri early in the race, putting him in a position to challenge Red Bull junior Lawson. Despite not being able to overtake Lawson, Miyata's third-place finish was enough to secure the title.
Miyata came into Sunday’s title-deciding round 5.5 points clear of Tomoki Nojiri and 12 clear of Red Bull junior Lawson after a fiercely competitive season that had seen the trio win all eight races up to that point between them. With polesitter Lawson dropping a place to Ota at the start, Miyata only needed to finish inside the top six to put himself in a position to become Toyota’s first Super Formula champion since Nick Cassidy in 2019.
On tyres that were already up to temperature, Miyata piled up the pressure on Lawson as the two drivers went side-by-side into the hairpin, but the Mugen driver just managed to hang on to a net second position. Ota pitted at the end of the folllowing lap and returned on track well in front of the two, ensuring the status duo remained well into the start of the second stint.
