The Japan Grand Prix will be the third round of the 2025 world championship, following the first double header of the season in Australia and China.

This weekend marks the beginning of the first triple header of the season at the Japanese Grand Prix, which will be followed by visits to Bahrain and Saudi Arabia for rounds four and five. 

McLaren has gotten a great start to the season with Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri taking one grand prix win apiece in Australia and China, respectively. 

Norris remains the championship leader with a 10-point advantage in the championship over his teammate. Will there be more McLaren success in Japan, or will the weather have an impact?
