2024 F1 Japanese Grand Prix session timings and preview
Formula 1 heads to Suzuka for the fourth round of the 2024 season. Here's how you can watch the 2024 Japanese Grand Prix on TV.
The iconic Suzuka fixture has been moved to the early part of the season this year as part of an Asia-Oceania flyaway leg that also includes races in Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Australia and China.
Red Bull won the last edition of the Japanese GP, home to its engine supplier Honda, but Ferrari arrives to the race on the back of its stunning victory in Melbourne a fortnight ago.
