Watch the 2026 Japanese Grand Prix live streams to find out if Ferrari, who looked better in China than in Australia, can push even closer to challenging Mercedes’ dominance. Speaking of which, Antonelli, after taking his first ever F1 win in Shanghai, is now a serious title contender alongside George Russell.
We are also likely to see an end to Max Verstappen’s dominance at Suzuka. He has won the last four races here, but with Red Bull now firmly in the midfield, he is unfortunately far from challenging the top teams.
Speaking of top teams, McLaren had a shocker in China when they recorded a double DNS, both related to power unit systems. It is worth noting that they run the Mercedes engine unit, but so far have not been able to extract the performance that the Mercedes has. Oscar Piastri hasn’t actually started either of the two races this season, so he’ll be keen to get a clean sheet in Japan.
The new energy management system will naturally be the talk of the paddock all weekend. While Suzuka is a fast track, it also has several significant braking zones, creating opportunities for energy harvesting. It can lead to more overtaking at a circuit not traditionally known for it.
