The return of Formula 1 racing to Japan is scheduled for 2022 after a long time away.
The forthcoming event, known as the Formula 1 Honda Japanese Grand Prix 2022, will take place on Sunday, October 9, and will consist of 53 laps on the 5.807-kilometre Suzuka International Racing Course. The Japanese GP is a fantastic opportunity for all F1 drivers and teams to display their superior racing prowess.
The Japanese GP, which is often held around the end of the season, has generated 13 World Champions. Since 1987, the race has been run at the renowned Suzuka Circuit, a location many drivers adore.
The teams affiliated with Honda would have an advantage even though Japanese audiences are known for their enthusiastic support of all drivers.
