The 2023 Formula 1 season continues with the Japanese Grand Prix, one of the toughest events on the calendar, so make sure you know how to watch the race at Suzuka on TV in the UK, USA and Australia.
Carlos Sainz took a stunning win at the Singapore GP last time out as Red Bull‘s unbeaten streak came to an end and Max Verstappen was beaten for the first time since Azerbaijan in April.
Red Bull can still win the constructors’ championship this weekend at Suzuka if they outscore Mercedes by one point or more and are not outscored by Ferrari by 24 points or more.
