Formula 1 heads to the iconic Suzuka circuit this weekend in what could prove a decisive race in the championship fight, but how much do you know about one of F1’s most famous Grands Prix?
After his devastating retirement in Sepang, Lewis Hamilton finds himself 23 points adrift of team-mate Nico Rosberg with just five races remaining, meaning victory is simply a must.
The circuit is steeped in history, a favourite of drivers’ and fans alike, with the challenging Esses and the fearsome 130R its most famous components.
Last year, it was Hamilton who triumphed, forcing his way past team-mate Rosberg at the start and dominating thereafter. A glance at the history books will tell you Suzuka so often throws up some drama and the Mercedes driver will be praying he is the beneficiary this time round.
