Japanese Grand Prix
Times in Central European Time.
- Friday 27 March

Practice 1
A quiet data-gathering hour with aero rakes and flow-vis paint, plus the odd trip through the gravel. Nothing that needs watching in full.

Practice 2
Standard Friday work: qualifying runs on softs, then long runs, with several cars losing time in the garage. No interruptions worth mentioning.

Practice 3
A slow start, then the top times change hands a few times, plus a couple of spins. A normal practice hour without stoppages.

Qualifying
A clean session without red flags; most of the tension sits at the tight cut-offs in Q1 and Q2. Solid, but the highlights cover it.

Race
A busy opening, hard-fought early battles and a safety car that shakes up the strategies. The closing laps still bring tight wheel-to-wheel fights.
