Formula 1 immediately moves to Japan for the second Asian race before moving to the American continent. As happened with Singapore, Suzuka welcomes Formula 1 again after two years of absence.
The pandemic took many things from us, but one of them comes back again: the Japanese Grand Prix at Suzuka. The legendary Japanese circuit welcomes the teams and drivers of Formula 1 after two years of absence from the calendar.
And it does so with a high probability of being decisive in the outcome of the championship, since in Suzuka Max Verstappen will have his second chance of proclaiming himself world champion in 2022 and, unlike Singapore, he will have many possibilities.
Basically, Max Verstappen all he needs is win and do the fastest lap. In case of not getting the extra point for the fastest lap, he would be champion if he is second and Leclerc is fifth without a fastest lap or worse, with Pérez crossing the finish line fourth or worse. There are more combinations, but they are more complicated to achieve.
Regardless, Red Bull will start again as favorite at Suzuka, although Ferrari seems to have regained its race pace after Singapore.
Formula 1 Japan GP Schedule
As usual in all Asian Grand Prix in which the race is held during the day, in Europe and America it is time to stay up late at night or get up early to see the single-seaters fly over the fast Suzuka circuit.
In mainland Spain, the activity on the track will begin on Friday at 05:00, while the second session will begin at 08:00. Already on Saturday, the classification will be held from 08:00, with the race starting on Sunday at 07:00.
In the following table you can see the schedules for Spain and some Latin American cities:
SCHEDULES FOR THE 2022 FORMULA 1 JAPAN GRAND PRIX
THIS IS THE GENERAL CLASSIFICATION OF THE F1 WORLD CUP
This is the circuit: Suzuka
Suzuka is, for many, the best circuit in the world. Fast in general lines, it has numerous curves in which the line between excellence and disaster is very small. And, from a technical point of view, aerodynamic efficiency plays a fundamental role as numerous fast corners are combined with long straight sections where top speed is important.
The high speeds and the large amount of lateral load that the fast and long corners generate on the tires make this circuit one of the most demanding with them. Not surprisingly, Pirelli is used to designating the hardest compounds in the range for this Grand Prix, despite the fact that the temperatures are not extreme, far from it.
All this, along with the numerous slopes along the track and the great love of the Japanese for racing, make this one of the great moments of the year, both for the members of the teams, as well as for the fans and the press.
How to follow and where to watch the Formula 1 Japanese GP

The calendar of the Formula 1 World Championship
The 2022 season was intended to become the longest in history hosting 23 Formula 1 Grand Prix, although after the cancellation of the Russian Grand Prix it was not yet clear if this wish would be fulfilled. In the end it will not be like that and, once again, the championship will remain in 22 events.
Regardless of that, this year’s calendar has brought back classic events that were absent during the pandemic. We talk about racing Australia, Canada, Singapore and Japan. The first was already played during the month of April and the second did the same in June. The Asians have had to wait until October to certify their return.

One more season, Spain is represented by Fernando Alonso and Carlos Sainz, both framed in the same team as in 2021. The Spaniard defends the colors of Alpine and is in charge of executing THE PLAN to the best of his ability, which, however, does not include fighting for the title or for victories.
On the other hand, the man from Madrid could reach that point, as Ferrari has improved even more this year and already aspires to important things with Red Bull and Mercedes as main opponents. can Carlos Sainz beat again a very fast Charles Leclerc?
