TV schedule and timetable for the F1 Japanese Grand Prix 2025
Two weeks after the McLaren one-two in Shanghai, F1 is back on a legendary track: Suzuka in Japan. Motors Inside brings you the programme for this unmissable weekend.
Formula 1 continues its Asian tour and sets up its paddock in Suzuka. This Grand Prix marks the start of the first triple-header of the season, as the ten teams will head next to Bahrain and then Saudi Arabia in the two following weeks.
After Oscar Piastri’s victory in China, McLaren clearly appears as the team to beat. Behind them, Ferrari, Mercedes, and Red Bull will also be in the fight for the podium. The Austrian outfit welcomes a new driver to its garage, Yuki Tsunoda, who replaces Liam Lawson, demoted to Racing Bulls. « The idea of driving for Red Bull at Suzuka feels unreal, » admitted the Japanese driver during a Honda event at the Aoyama headquarters. « I’m excited about the challenge ahead. »
As for the Scuderia, it’s time for self-reflection. After a lacklustre start to the season and a double disqualification in the last race, Fred Vasseur’s team will be eager to bounce back and build positive momentum.
