Day 1 of the 2025 Japanese Grand Prix is completed at the iconic Suzuka Circuit. Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris were the fastest by the end of the day. The FP2 session was spoiled by fire and crashes, which unfortunately wasted more than 30 minutes of the session.
Tomorrow will be the qualifying, followed by the main race on Sunday. Japan GP has always been a special race for many F1 drivers. When in Japan, the drivers change their lifestyle according to the Japanese culture. The Land of the Rising Sun is home to some of the world’s most iconic car brands, like Honda, Toyota, Suzuki, Mazda, and Nissan.
We recently saw Lando Norris arriving at the circuit in a retro Nissan R32 car. Even Alpine drivers Pierre Gasly and Jack Doohan claimed the car looks better than Alpine. Esteban Ocon was also seen testing a new-generation Toyota Supra and looked very impressed with the original Japanese machines.

WATCH Lando Norris save himself from falling
But a recent video shows Lando Norris arriving in a Toyota Vellfire. As he was stepping down, his legs got caught inside the car. He landed on one leg, and his quick reflexes saved him from falling heavily to the ground. One of the fans standing near the car tried to catch Lando as he was going to fall. He then took his bag and thanked the fans for waiting.
Lando Norris is now leading the 2025 Formula 1 drivers' championship, and his team, McLaren, is the leader of the constructors. Many experts believe the championship fight will be between Lando Norris and his teammate Oscar Piastri.
Coming to the Japanese Grand Prix, Lando’s rival and friend, Max Verstappen, has won the last three races. The Suzuka circuit has traditionally suited Red Bull cars. But this year, the cars are acting very differently, and McLaren is looking more comfortable with the track.
