The Suzuka Circuit is a thrilling track very much appreciated by drivers and fans for the numerous overtaking opportunities it offers. Shaped more or less like an eight, the circuit’s numerous bends and long straights make it a challenging and appreciated track, full of hard braking zones and acceleration.
2018 Japanese Grand Prix weather forecast (Weather Info Suzuka):
From the Formula 1 teams’ point of view, different weather conditions can result in very different races, and Formula 1 teams adapt their strategy accordingly, for example using different tyres in wet conditions, and taking account of cross winds which can cause stability problems at high speeds. It is always well worth checking the weather before any grand prix as it can often throw a curve ball into the mix, especially given the fact that Suzuka could prove to be another unpredictable weekend. Conditions appear uncertain ahead of the 2018 Formula 1 Japanese Grand Prix weekend. The temperature for race day is expected to be around 27-29 degrees Celsius and there is a strong chance of rain on each day (especially on Saturday), which means that both the qualifying session and the race could take place in wet conditions. For the moment not positive prospects for Scuderia Ferrari, as the Maranello team will hope for a race in dry conditions, given the fact that the SF71H did not look strong in the previous events whick took place on a wet track.
