11 TikToks you will sacrifice sleep for from the Japanese and Chinese Grands Prix
Returning to China, Fernando re-signing and a shoutout in Taylor Swift's new album. This is what TikTok made of a busy few weeks for Aston Martin Aramco Formula One Team.
After a double points finish Down Under at the 2024 Australian Grand Prix, we made our way to Suzuka Circuit for a weekend filled with passionate fans, picturesque cherry blossoms and a legendary high-speed circuit.
Shortly after the 2024 Japanese Grand Prix, Fernando Alonso signed a new multi-year deal, ending months of speculation with five words: "I am here to stay."
We then headed to round five of the 2024 Formula One World Championship for our debut race at the Shanghai International Circuit and the first Sprint weekend of the season.
And throughout it all you, our fans, have been taking to TikTok to help shape our story. Here are some of our favourite TikToks from a busy few weeks for the team.
1 & 2 | Big in Japan
Returning to the legendary Suzuka Circuit is something we look forward to every year. These TikToks give a glimpse into the reason why – Suzuka's incredible atmosphere and passionate fans.

10 | First in Free Practice
Lance made a flying start to our debut Chinese Grand Prix weekend when he topped the times in the weekend's sole practice session, and @f1marmar shared her take on the first F1 running in China in five years.
Throughout the week of the Chinese Grand Prix, we harnessed the power of sport to connect cultures and fans, collaborating with a host of sporting icons and inviting local Shanghai students to a day of STEM learning and karting with our title partner Aramco. A fusion of elite sport that conjured moments out of the ordinary, our Chinese Grand debut was the perfect opportunity to excite and inspire.
