Formula One makes the relatively short trip from Malaysia to Japan for round seventeen of the 2016 championship this weekend.
Suzuka circuit is a favourite among many drivers due to its challenging nature and the skill required to master it. Force India's Sergio Perez has been speaking about what makes the track so great.
“The trip to Japan is always good fun and every year I try to visit Tokyo for a few days ahead of the race. Once you get to Suzuka, things are much quieter: the city is small but the circuit is spectacular, it’s the real attraction."
“The circuit is a huge challenge and it’s unforgiving. The speeds are high and the best part, for me, is sector one – it’s so impressive.”
“Suzuka is without any doubt one of the best tracks in the world. You need a car that is balanced enough for you to feel completely at ease with it."
“The other thing to remember is the cross winds because it can often by very windy there. One lap you can have the perfect balance and the next it can be thrown off by a gust of wind!”
Perez also spoke briefly of the tragic crash of Jules Bianchi in 2014 which eventually led to the death of the Frenchman.
“Sadly, every time we go there we are reminded of Jules’s tragic accident,” he said.
