Venue: Suzuka Circuit, Japan.
Race Date: 7^th April 2024

As the sporting world came to terms with the fact that Carlos Sainz, not Max Verstappen won the Australian Grand Prix, the circus moves on to Japan, in what is one of the most iconic races on the Formula 1 calendar. Brake failure did for Verstappen in Melbourne, but he remains the hot favourite in every single race he participates in and his march towards another F1 World Championship title seems inevitable, but he will have to bounce back here in Japan.

Formula 1 Japanese Grand Prix Predictions

F1 Japanese Grand Prix Race Winner

The atmosphere at Suzuka Circuit should be fantastic, as the 20 fastest drivers in the world go hard at it:

Max Verstappen – $1.28

Use Code: 'GOBET500'Check Offers

The rarity of Max Verstappen not winning a F1 race now makes headlines more than when he does win and there will be an extra element of pressure on the Dutchman here, as he looks to bounce back from his Australian nightmare.

Red Bull look to have the brake issues fixed and when Verstappen has an objective, he is an extremely difficult man to stop.

Sergio Perez – $15.00

Mexican Sergio Perez didn’t maximise the chance that presented itself to him at Melbourne and he will be eager to put in another show for Red Bull here in Japan, at a Suzuka Circuit that should be a good fit for his driving style.

Stepping up and beating Verstappen does look to be a rather tall order but Perez continues to plug away in every single race and if there are issues for Verstappen up ahead, Perez will be doing all he can to exploit them.

Charles Leclerc – $17.00

Use Code: 'GOBET500'Check Offers

Having pushed his Ferrari teammate Carlos Sainz all the way in Australia, Charles Leclerc will be looking to go one better here in Japan. Leclerc has started the season very well, demonstrating consistency in his Ferrari car and he will believe he can challenge at Suzuka.

This looks to be part of a team objective for Ferrari, who are slowly closing the gap on Red Bull ahead of the Lewis Hamilton arrival in 2025 and Leclerc will want to show the world that they made the right decision to keep him and not Carlos Sainz here.

F1 Japanese Grand Prix Top Six Finish

Suzuka always provides an excellent backdrop for the Japanese Grand Prix and the stakes are sky high once more in 2024:-

Oscar Piastri – $1.60

Use Code: 'GOBET500'Check Offers

After finishing 4^th in his home Grand Prix in Australia, Oscar Piastri will be looking to take great confidence from that result as he heads over to Japan.

McLaren have been ticking along nicely this season, with Piastri very much part of that and he and his teammate Lando Norris will be out to challenge all the way here.

Lewis Hamilton – $2.00

It has been a start of the season to forget for Lewis Hamilton, who has endured plenty of off-track chat this term and his Mercedes performances have been far from standout either.

The Brit is never going to fold and concede, no matter how his car is running and whilst those above him on the grid have more confidence and faster cars, Hamilton’s fight and desire could see him over the line in a top 6 spot in Japan.

Fernando Alonso – $3.50

Use Code: 'GOBET500'Check Offers

It has not been the start to the season 42-year-old Fernando Alonso would have necessarily envisaged but the Spaniard remains as hungry as ever to challenge in every single F1 race he lines up in.

The Suzuka Circuit is often a challenge for Alonso, who is still getting to grips with his Aston Martin car in 2024 but he is a class act and he should be pushing hard for a top 6 finish here in Japan this weekend.
