The Hungarian GP win was Red Bull's 12th straight.
The Dutch 25-year-old led every lap as he took his career tally to 41 wins, stepping up alongside Brazil's late triple champion Ayrton Senna in the record books.
The win was Verstappen's fourth of the season, second in Monaco and 39th of his career.
Helped by a safety car period that fell in his favour after Verstappen had pitted, the Mexican made the most of his good fortune to take a sixth career victory and become the first driver to win the grand prix for a second time.
Red Bull made a one-two while Fernando Alonso also finished on the podium.
Max Verstappen led from pole position at the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez, taking the chequered flag 15.186 seconds clear of Mercedes's Lewis Hamilton.
The outcome meant Red Bull's titles were safe. The team have won the 2021 and 2022 drivers' championships with Max Verstappen as well as this year's constructors' crown, their first since 2013.
The title, clinched with three races to spare, ended an eight-year streak by Mercedes who have yet to win a race this season.
The Dutchman's closest rival Charles Leclerc was handed a five-second post-race penalty in the Japanese GP.
The victory was the Dutch driver's third of the season, and second in a row, and he made it happen with a crucial overtake around the outside on Sainz at the start to seize second place before blasting past Leclerc on the ninth of the 57 laps.
