Japanese Grand Prix
Suzuka International Racing Course
Resumo
Navigating Suzuka’s relentless esses and corners is a harsh test for all cars on the grid. This year, with the race taking place in spring, cooler temperatures mean a one-stop strategy could be possible but may leave drivers at risk of being undercut or running out of grip. At this stage in the season, it’s all to play for.
Ajuste sugerido
Suggested car setup and attribute focus for Suzuka:
- High-speed cornering is crucial
- Focusing medium speed cornering is also recommended
- Favours cars with balanced stats
Dicas e truques
With a highly abrasive surface and a good chance of rain, Suzuka can be unpredictable at the best of times and can be the first real test of the season.
- The highly abrasive track will wear out your tyres quickly, necessitating two pit stops in most strategies. If you can push through with a single pit, you can gain an edge on the competition, but beware of pushing beyond your limits.
- The appearance of a safety car is no sure thing at Suzuka and with a negligible gain offered over a normal pit, you might be better off sticking to your pit strategy.
- With the only DRS zone and plenty of corners, Sector 1 of Suzuka allows for plenty of action right out of the gate but be careful to avoid unnecessary wear or mechanical issues so early in the race.

Following a flurry of pit stops in Japan, Aston Martin are looking to push ahead. After emerging from the pits just behind Tsunoda, Stroll is chasing down the last points position, while Alonso is moving towards the top 5. With limited tyres remaining, making the right strategy calls could gain them valuable places. Will Stroll be able to overtake Tsunoda and deny him his home race point?
