We’ve had the prelude, we’ve had the pukka season opener, and we’re already at Japan! But don’t worry, you haven’t missed the majority of the season, Japan is just at this end of the calendar to streamline logistics as F1 stumbles towards a common sense-led calendar.

We’re joined again by Lower Laptime’s Martin Villari to preview the Japanese GP and sift through the news ahead of the racing action in Suzuka.
