The 2025 Formula 1 season continues this weekend with the Japanese Grand Prix at the legendary Suzuka Circuit.
As the teams and drivers head to one of the most challenging and iconic tracks on the calendar, here’s everything you need to know ahead of the race.
Suzuka – A True Driver’s Circuit
Suzuka is one of the most respected circuits in Formula 1.
Built in 1962 as a test track for Honda, the figure-eight layout is a rarity in the sport, offering a mixture of high-speed corners, technical sections, and dramatic turns.
Known for bends like the famous ‘S Curves,’ the high-speed ‘130R,’ and the tricky ‘Degner Curves,’ Suzuka brings out the precision and bravery from each and every driver on the grid.
With limited overtaking opportunities, qualifying will be crucial, and strategy plays a key role in determining the outcome of the race.
Tyre degradation is always a factor at Suzuka, with its fast corners and abrasive surface putting extra strain on the rubber.
Expect a mix of one- and two-stop strategies depending on how the weather plays out.
The right strategy going into the pits could swing the race dramatically.
Unpredictable Weather Conditions
The Japanese Grand Prix has a history of unpredictable weather, with rain often playing a role in the outcome of the race.
In the past, heavy downpours have led to dramatic moments, with wet conditions testing the skills of even the most experienced drivers.
With the current weather report suggesting we could expect rain on Sunday, each and every driver will be forced to bring their A-game.
A Key Moment in the Season
Suzuka is often a decisive venue in the Formula 1 calendar, often playing host to title-defining moments and unforgettable races.
Last season’s edition saw both Red Bull drivers Max Verstappen and Sergio Pérez claiming P1 and P2 with the racing outfit eventually going on to win the championship.
This year’s edition will no doubt be as crucial to each team’s season success as it has been in years prior.
