A highly anticipated F1 race is coming this weekend at the Suzuka circuit in Japan.
Red Bull Racing is the favourites to win the constructors' championship and they just need to win more points this weekend to have a chance to lock in the constructors' championship of the year.
Red Bull Racing is currently ahead of Mercedes and Ferrari and will only need 24 points less than Ferrari to win the constructors' championship this year.
It is worth mentioning that Mercedes, Ferrari and McLaren have shown strong competitiveness in recent races, so all teams will be fighting for more points in this weekend's race.
Suzuka is one of the oldest circuits in F1 history and carries the glory of many classic races.
The track has seen accidents with Senna and Prost and Raikkonen's turnaround, which became an important chapter in F1 history.
With its jaw-dropping 130R corners and continuous corners, Suzuka is a huge test for the drivers.
The challenge of these details makes Suzuka a highly respected track. For rookie Lawson, Suzuka Circuit can almost be called his "second home."
Having previously competed in SuperFormula Japan this season, he has a deep knowledge and experience of the Suzuka circuit. This is undoubtedly a huge advantage for his fight in F1.
Another high-profile driver is Chinese driver Zhou Guanyu.
He is looking forward to the Suzuka track in dryland conditions and will bring a new kit adapted to the characteristics of the track.
Zhou Guanyu and his team are very eager to achieve good results in this race. Looking back at history, many great drivers have achieved outstanding results in the Japanese Grand Prix.
Names like Michael Schumacher, Hamilton and Alonso are all closely associated with the Japanese Grand Prix. McLaren is one of the most successful teams in history, with many brilliant successes at the Japanese Grand Prix.
A combination of C1, C2 and C3 tyres will be used for this race. Each rider is equipped with 2 sets of hard tyres, 3 sets of neutral tyres and 8 sets of soft tyres.
This tyre combination adds more strategy and variability to the race, and also affects the driver's technique and car tuning.
Speaking of the F1 Japanese Grand Prix, this is already the 48th edition.
Suzuka has hosted 44 Japanese Grand Prix races and has long been the focus of the F1 world. Verstappen won his second world title at last year's race, while Albon will race the 75th Grand Prix of his F1 career.
To sum up, this weekend's Japanese Grand Prix is highly anticipated. Drivers and teams are looking for higher accolades and points, and history has given us many classic races and great drivers, which makes us look forward to this race.
