For the first time in almost 400 days, Red Bull drivers Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez will start from the front row in tomorrow’s grand prix. Despite their team’s recent dominance, the drivers have rarely competed directly against each other for victory. Perez strong performance in qualifying where he narrowly missed pole position suggests a competitive race ahead.
However, Verstappen consistent pace throughout the weekend indicates he remains a formidable opponent. With limited long-running due to weather conditions, both drivers acknowledge the uncertainty of their race pace. Meanwhile, McLaren’s Lando Norris starting behind the Red Bulls anticipates a strong performance from the team despite their concerns.
The race at Suzuka is expected to be dry with cooler temperatures compared to previous years. Strategies are likely to involve two-stop plans due to significant tire degradation on the challenging circuit. Overtaking opportunities at Suzuka are limited, making strategic decisions crucial.
Safety car deployments are not uncommon at Suzuka with the risk of incidents heightened at the start. Drivers to watch include Valtteri Bottas aiming for Sauber’s first points of the season.
