Japanese Grand Prix
The Japanese Grand Prix has been a major cog of F1 since 1976, and over the years, has seen many drivers take the chequered flag at the end of the race.
While the race has been won by quite a few racers so far since its inception, there is only one name that stands apart when it comes to the Japanese Grand Prix.
That name is of none other than F1 legend, Michael Schumacher. The German has been stupendous whenever he has got behind the wheel of an F1 car in Japan, and in his career, has won an impressive 6 Grand Prix.
No other driver, to date, has been able to match or break his record. Moreover, the historic Grand Prix has taken place 48 times and the Schumacher’s record is still standing tall. He retired from the sport years ago.
Michael Schumacher was an absolute beast during his racing days and it does not come as a huge surprise to his fans to know that he has the all-time race wins record in Japan.
The Japanese Grand Prix has taken place at two venues in the past
The Japanese Grand Prix has been on the F1 calendar for a very long time and while many people are aware of the Suzuka International Racing Course, not many people know that there is another circuit in Japan where F1 races have taken place previously.
The Fuji International Speedway is another venue where F1 has held its races on past occasions, it is located near the dormant Mount Fuji Volcano.
In the past, it was the go-to venue for F1 races, but because of poor weather and a lack of interest among the people, it was decided to move the races to the super-fast Suzuka circuit.
The year 2008 was the last time when an F1 race took place at the Fuji Speedway and since then, all races have taken place at the Suzuka Circuit.
Moreover, Suzuka has signed a new three-year contract with F1 and is going to stay on the calendar at least till the 2024 season of the sport.
