Formula 1 in Japan is guest at the weekend. Where can the training, qualifying and racing on TV and stream to be seen? Sport.de has put together all information.
“Konnichiwa”: Japan calls Formula 1 on the International Racing Course in Suzuka, where the third Grand Prix weekend of the 2025 season is due from 4 to April 6th.
Before that, there are many open questions: Does McLaren settle even more in the team classification? Can George Russell continue to position himself as the next strongest force in Mercedes? Has Ferrari recovered from the China shock? And what does world champion Max Verstappen in the Red Bull car?
One thing is already clear: As with the Australia GP and in the race in China before, no sleeping is possible for German fans on Japan weekend, because the sessions take place at night or early in the morning. The good news: it’s worth getting up, because RTL shows qualifying on Saturday (from 7:30 a.m. German time) live on free TV and on RTL+*!
