Japanese GP

Racing in the Land of the Rising Sun

2025 SEASON
Japan Saturday debrief homepage portrait

The final stop on our early-season tour to the far side of the world also marked the first leg of the first triple-header of the season, with the Japanese Grand Prix leading onto races in Bahrain and Saudi Arabia.

Japan is steeped in racing culture, and nowhere more so than Suzuka. Every corner is a masterpiece with names that trip off the tongue: Spoon; 130R; the Esses.

It has the most enthusiastic fans and presents an opportunity for visitors to experience a culture quite unlike their own: Fernando in particular loves it, having a profound affinity with Japan's ancient Samurai warriors, identifying with many of their beliefs.

Read on for all the key figures and stats from our Japanese Grand Prix weekend.

Degner 1 is especially difficult because it has a blind entry, so you don't see the inside apex until you are already committed on the entry.
