2022 F1 Japanese Grand Prix Race Track, Expected Weather, And Other Details
This weekend’s Japanese Grand Prix will bring Formula 1 back to Suzuka, and Max Verstappen is on the verge of clinching his second consecutive global drivers’ championship. With a victory and the best lap at Suzuka, Verstappen, who leads second-placed Charles Leclerc by 104 points in the standings, can clinch the title. However, this weekend’s winner may also be Sergio Perez of Red Bull, who just won in Singapore.
In their quest for their first victory of the year, Mercedes will be looking to make it seven in a row after winning the last six races at Suzuka. Although it is presently not anticipated that the weather would have an impact on the race, the prediction indicates that the drivers can expect rain on Friday, a dry Saturday, and possibly additional rain on Sunday.
2022 Japanese Grand Prix will feature a total of 53 laps spanning over 307.4 km distance and this race at Suzuka will use three toughest tire compounds available from F1’s official tire supplier, which were last used at the Dutch Grand Prix. Teams will have access to the C1 hard tire (x2 sets), C2 medium tire (x3 sets), and C3 soft tire (x8 sets). The 90-minute practice session will also be back this weekend, as FP2 in Japan will be extended by 30 minutes as Pirelli looks to conduct 2023 prototype slick tire testing.
