Race behind the race
The early phase of the 2026 Formula 1 season continues in Japan with the Grand Prix at Suzuka, which is part of the opening flyaway sequence in the Asia-Pacific region. As in recent years, the race will take place in the spring instead of the traditional fall, supporting Formula 1’s efforts to improve calendar regionalization, reduce travel distances, and enhance overall sustainability.
This marks the 40th running of the Japanese Grand Prix, which first appeared on the Formula 1 calendar in 1976 at the Fuji Speedway. Since then, Suzuka has become one of the sport's most iconic and technically demanding circuits. Its unique figure-eight layout, combined with legendary sections such as the Esses, the Degner Curves, and the 130R, continues to challenge even the most experienced drivers.
Unlike previous plans, the championship will not continue to Bahrain and Saudi Arabia after Japan. Both April races were officially canceled due to the ongoing situation in the Middle East, and no replacement events will be held during that time. This means that Formula 1 will take an extended break after Suzuka, with the season resuming in Miami from May 1–3.
