TV Schedule for the 2025 Japanese F1 Grand Prix

Join us in Suzuka, Japan, from April 4 to 6, 2025, for the third race of the 2025 F1 season.

After a well-deserved break following a doubleheader between Australia and China, F1 resumes in Japan for the third race of the season. Since its first appearance in 1987, Suzuka has established itself as a fixture on the calendar, highly praised by drivers for its challenging layout, particularly the legendary “esses” of the first sector, a real challenge captured on onboard cameras.

Stretching 5,807 meters, the circuit features 18 turns, including the iconic 130R, a ultra-fast left-hander where Fernando Alonso once attempted a spectacular overtaking maneuver on Michael Schumacher. Suzuka has also been the scene of legendary clashes, especially when it was scheduled at the end of the season. In 1990, Ayrton Senna clinched his second title there after a controversial collision with Alain Prost right at the first turn.

Thirty-five years later, the Japanese Grand Prix is about to host its 35th edition at Suzuka. Michael Schumacher still holds the record for wins there (6), closely followed by Lewis Hamilton (5), who could equal that this weekend by securing his first victory with Ferrari, two weeks after his triumph in the sprint race in Shanghai.

However, the Brit will have to contend with a particularly strong McLaren lineup at the start of the season: Lando Norris took victory in Australia, while Oscar Piastri won in China. Both will engage in another intense rivalry to take the lead in the championship. This showdown is set to unfold early morning, with a start at 7 a.m., French time.
