F1 heads to Suzuka for the fourth round of the season at the Japanese Grand Prix. Here's how to watch the race.
This weekend, Formula 1 is headed to the Suzuka circuit for the 2024 Japanese Grand Prix. This year’s race takes place on Sunday at 1:00am ET, which means an early start for F1 fans in America. It's sure to be an exciting race as Max Verstappen looks to get back on top.
Last week gave us the first upset of the season when Verstappen and Red Bull saw their winning run come to an end. Due to the malfunctioning brake on his RB20, Verstappen had to retire early from the Australian Grand Prix — opening the door for rivals Ferrari.
