The F1 circus would soon arrive in the land of the rising sun for the 2024 F1 Japanese Grand Prix. The single-seater racing series has already been to Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, and Australia for the first three races of the 2024 F1 season.

Max Verstappen continued his dominant run in 2024 and comfortably won two of the first three races. However, he shockingly suffered a brake failure at the Australian GP and had to retire from the race, allowing Ferrari driver Carlos Sainz to win at Albert Park. Mercedes struggled in Australia as both Lewis Hamilton and George Russell retired from the race due to engine failure and an accident, respectively.

Here is everything to know about the upcoming 2024 F1 Japanese Grand Prix.
