“2024 Japanese Grand Prix: F1 Heads to Suzuka for the Fourth Round of the Season”

The excitement is building as Formula 1 heads to Suzuka for the fourth round of the season at the Japanese Grand Prix. Fans can catch all the action live on Sky Sports F1 and Sky Sports Main Event, with the race itself set for 6am next Sunday. Replays and highlights of each session will also be shown on Sky Sports F1 throughout the weekend.

The Japanese Grand Prix is making history this year by taking place in April for the first time ever. Last time out in Australia, Carlos Sainz led Ferrari to a one-two finish, ending Max Verstappen’s winning streak. Lando Norris also impressed with a third-place finish, and McLaren is expected to be strong once again at Suzuka.

Mercedes, on the other hand, is facing some challenges with correlation issues affecting their car’s performance. Lewis Hamilton and George Russell will be looking to bounce back after failing to finish in Melbourne. Meanwhile, Yuki Tsunoda will have the home crowd behind him as he races for Red Bull.

The Japanese GP has been moved to early April as part of F1’s sustainability efforts, with the aim of becoming net zero carbon by 2030. The Suzuka circuit, known for its fast, flowing corners, has signed a new five-year contract extension and will continue to host races until at least 2029.

Don’t miss the live coverage of the Japanese GP on Sky Sports F1, with practice sessions starting as early as 3.30am on Friday. The race itself will take place at 6am on Sunday, with replays and highlights available throughout the weekend. It’s shaping up to be an exciting weekend of racing at one of F1’s most iconic circuits.
