Expectations before the race

The Japanese Grand Prix is the first race of the triple header, so F1 teams and drivers are well prepared to bear the mounting pressure of staying in the championship fight or extending the lead over others. Red Bull has made a big change in their driver's lineup by bringing in Yuki Tsunoda in his home Grand Prix. We expect them to show some improvement in this race. But we still predict McLaren to win the race ahead of Mercedes and Ferrari.
