F1 Japanese Grand Prix: Here’s When, Where and How to Watch 2024 Suzuka Race in India

The 2024 F1 Japanese Grand Prix will take place at a historic moment this year. Unlike the previous year, when the Japanese Grand Prix took place as the 16th race of the season, this time, fans may enjoy the thrill sooner in the schedule. A surprising result came from the most recent race in Melbourne, which was unexpected given that Red Bull and Max Verstappen were predicted to have a strong season. Ferrari and Carlos Sainz surprised everyone by winning the race despite problems with reliability and unusual track conditions, most notably excessive wear on the front tyres. As a result, the rankings in the championship have become more interesting. Verstappen's current position as the leader is unchanged, however, the close closeness of Charles Leclerc in second place adds an intriguing element to their fight. If Leclerc were to win the F1 Japanese GP, it would unquestionably disrupt the current rankings. On Sunday, Verstappen will be looking to get back on track after his unusual retirement in Australia, and he plans to do it by securing a dominant win at Suzuka. Nevertheless, Ferrari has a strong belief in their capacity to rival him.
