2023 F1 Japanese GP – How to watch, session timings and more

Formula 1 continues this weekend with the Japanese Grand Prix which hosts the 16th round of the 2023 season. 

Following Carlos Sainz’s Singapore GP triumph that ended the winning streak of Red Bull and Max Verstappen, the Dutch driver returns to the circuit where he clinched his 2022 world title.

The entire F1 paddock expects Red Bull to bounce back to its dominant form at Suzuka after its Singapore slump, but Ferrari will aim to maintain its surge in form having been at the front for the past two races. 

Elsewhere, George Russell will look to respond to his heart-breaking last-lap crash at the Marina Bay circuit which lost him a certain podium, as his Mercedes team and the likes of McLaren and Aston Martin also target the top spots.
