The Formula 1 World Championship arrives this weekend at the Suzuka circuit in Japan, and in Spain it will be broadcast between late morning and early morning. In this sixteenth race of the championship dominated by the Red Bull team, Max Verstappen, world leader, cannot become three-time world champion. For this he will have to wait for Qatar.

‘Mad Max’ became two-time champion here last season, in a chaotic race marked by rain and moments of confusion in which no one was prepared to celebrate the title. On the Japan circuit, whose top winner is still Michael Schumacher with 6 victories, the Ferraris arrive very strong after winning in Singapore.

With those from Maranello going strong, Aston Martin is working to recover ground now that the McLarens have also shown that they have done their homework and have been on the podium on more than one occasion. Although Suzuka will be a more complicated track for Fernando Alonso’s team, the Spaniard, who became world champion here in 2006, expects “a positive surprise.”
