Jumping to the start of the season for the first time in its history, we travel to the east Asian nation that has only ever held one springtime Grand Prix with the 1994 Pacific Grand Prix. A traditional season closer, Suzuka is one of the most popular circuits on the calendar with drivers and has produced countless historic moments over time. The 2024 season threw up a bit of a surprise last time in Australia as we had the first retirement since 2022 for Max Verstappen, quite quickly closing off the media theories of "can Max win every race this year". Carlos Sainz got a nice win on his comeback, perhaps starting a chain of events where all drivers will start removing their appendixes! We will find out at the JAPANESE GRAND PRIX!
