Where & how to watch 2024 F1 Japanese GP in USA?: Weekend schedule and more

F1 will be travelling to Suzuka Circuit (Japanese GP 2024) for another exciting race weekend, following the Australian Grand Prix. 

The drivers will be racing at the Suzuka Circuit, optimising the full potential of their machines. The 5.81km track is going to put the drivers to extreme tests mixed with the unpredictable weather conditions.

After the recent unfortunate early retirement, Max Verstappen could not finish his race during the Australian GP. The overheating of his right brakes on Sunday forced him to withdraw from the race.

This gave Carlos Sainz, who was behind Verstappen, an opportunity to lead the pack. The race ended with Ferrari claiming the 1-2 podium standing. The Ferrari duo was followed by the McLaren duo to the finish line. 

Will Max Verstappen manage to reclaim his top spot in the upcoming race? This question will be answered this Sunday. However, considering Verstappen’s track record backed by his RB20, fans have high hopes for the Dutchman’s comeback. 

When is the Japanese Grand Prix 2024?

For the first time in F1’s history, Japanese Grand Prix will be held in the month of April. This is done by F1 to improve sustainability and achieve zero carbon emissions by 2030. Hence it is taking place between the Australian and the Chinese Grand Prix.
