Restart, Suzuka, 2024


The Formula 1 season continues this weekend as the series begin its first run of three rounds in a row. The Japanese Grand Prix takes place this weekend at Suzuka, followed immediately by the series’ visits to Bahrain and Saudi Arabia.

Anticipation for this year’s visit to Suzuka will be especially high following the news Japan’s only F1 driver, Yuki Tsunoda, has been promoted from Racing Bulls to Red Bull.
