F1 live timing: Follow all the action from the Japanese Grand Prix
The McLaren duo head into the Japanese Grand Prix on one win apiece for Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri, as the Woking-based team establish themselves as the fastest overall package at the start of the season.
At Suzuka, however, they will have challenges from the chasing pack as Max Verstappen looks to notch up his first win of the season, George Russell of Mercedes looks to turn his two podiums into a potential victory and Ferrari will want to bounce back from a double disqualification last time out in China.
Whatever happens, it is set fair to be another highly-competitive weekend as Formula 1 heads to a driver and fan favourite circuit in Japan, as Yuki Tsunoda makes his Red Bull debut in front of his home fans.
