Off to turn off the traffic lights and begin the Japanese GP for the 2024 F1 World Championship.

After the accident, the marshals will display the red flag to remove the two damaged cars. After repairing the barriers we will start again with a standing start on the grid.
Not much happens during the race, worth mentioning is the fantastic race pace shown by Leclerc which it does well 26 giri on the medium tyre. He is certainly the protagonist in this Japanese GP tire degradation which forces the drivers to pit several times.
By analyzing the performance of the various competing teams we can affirm the great moment of form of the Ferrari especially on the race pace, the second best today Red Bull. McLaren instead constant with Lando Norrismore in difficulty Oscar Piastri. Mercedes who still can't see the light at the end of the tunnel with a match that confirms the negative trend of recent weeks.

After the 53 laps scheduled on the Suzuka track, the Japanese GP was won Max Verstappen for the third time in a row with a match that was not dominated but always kept under control. Followed on the podium Sergio Perez e Carlos Sainz. Fantastic competition from Charles Leclerc which finishes in fourth place. Fifth Lando Norrissixth Fernando Alonsoseventh Oscar Piastri. Completing the top ten are the two Mercedes drivers ahead of an exceptional team Yuki Tsunoda.
A Japanese GP that confirms expectations, a race that is certainly not among the most eventful ever but which gives many answers to the objectives of the various teams. Red Bull responds to the Australian debacle by returning to win with a double, Ferrari confirms itself as the second force in the championship while McLaren immediately after the Red proves to be competitive but on a circuit like Suzuka something more was expected. Mercedes, on the other hand, is increasingly confused with a car that struggles to be understood inside the garage.
