Cherry blossom season is here and so is the 2025 Japanese Grand Prix as Formula 1 returns this weekend at the Suzuka Circuit, a track renowned for its fast-flowing corners!

All eyes will be on Yuki Tsunoda as he makes his Red Bull debut and has declared his target to finish on the podium at his home race. The Japanese was promoted to the senior team last week following a driver swap, with Liam Lawson demoted to Racing Bulls. 

Oscar Piastri led Lando Norris to a dominant McLaren one-two at the Chinese Grand Prix in Shanghai last time out, while Ferarri duo Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc will be eager to bounce back after a double disqualification which cost the team a total of 18 points.

The Japanese Grand Prix is not a Sprint weekend, so it's the usual format of Qualifying on Saturday and the main race on Sunday, and you can watch it all on beIN SPORTS and beIN SPORTS CONNECT. Click here to subscribe now!
