US EditionF1’s Japanese GP Will Be the Last for 5 Weeks Due to the Effects of the Iran War
The Japanese GP ends a three-race stretch before a five-week pause triggered by Middle East race cancellations due to the Iran war, with Mercedes and Ferrari leading at Suzuka.
- The Japanese Formula One Grand Prix takes place this Sunday at the Suzuka circuit, marking the third race of the season before a five-week hiatus caused by cancellations in Bahrain and Saudi Arabia.
- With Formula's most radical power and chassis changes in over a decade, Mercedes and Ferrari have adapted best to the new regulations. Mercedes driver Andrea Kimi Antonelli and George Russell have won the first two races.
- McLaren failed to start the race two weeks ago in China after winning last season's drivers' championship with Lando Norris, while engine supplier Honda faces pressure regarding its partnership with Aston Martin.
- Red Bull driver Max Verstappen, who retired in China, has criticized the season's radical makeover as 'yo-yo racing,' noting that top drivers surge to the front before quickly falling off the lead.
- Following this weekend, Formula teams will enter a five-week break before competition resumes on May 3 in Miami, offering time to analyze performance and improve car reliability.
