Japanese GP preview 2026

We previewed the upcoming Japanese Grand Prix at Suzuka, breaking down what to expect from the challenging circuit with the new 2026 regulations. We discussed how Suzuka's characteristics will test the energy management systems, ranking 21st out of 24 tracks for harvesting, and what that means for race strategy.

We made our predictions for pole position, podium finishes, and race winner, plus talked about which drivers and teams might struggle or excel at this old-school track. The narrow, unforgiving nature of Suzuka with grass and gravel could create some interesting moments with the new cars.

We also touched on the two races potentially being rescheduled and what that might mean for the championship fight.
