F1 action moves to Japan this weekend after an enthralling Singapore GP. The Japanese GP was first held in 1963 and this will be the 49th edition of the Grand Prix. It has historically been the venue for many title-deciding races, with 12 World Drivers’ Champions being crowned over the 35 World Championship Japanese Grands Prix that have been hosted. This edition of the Japanese GP is scheduled to take place from 7th October to 9th October at the Suzuka Circuit.

Japanese GP 2022 Predictions

Max Verstappen couldn’t really seal his F1 championship crown at the Marina Bay Circuit but he will be the pre-race favourite once again in Japan. However, he will certainly be tested by the likes of Charles Leclerc, Carlos Sainz, Lewis Hamilton, George Russell and Sergio Perez. P1 for Verstappen, P2 for Leclerc and P3 for Perez is our prediction for the weekend.
