Few sports capture the exhilaration of nations like Formula One. From blistering battles down the straight to canny moves in the corners, the biggest motorsport carnival in the world is back again for another thrilling 2025 season.
Max Verstappen has been the dominant force at Suzuka in recent times and the Red Bull Racing legend will be attempting to become the first driver to win four successive Japanese GPs this time around. The dynamic Dutchman has recorded dominant victories from pole in each of the last three years, winning by 27 seconds in 2022, by 19 seconds in 2023 and 12 seconds last year. Despite his recent domination, Verstappen still finds himself behind the likes of Michael Schumacher, Lewis Hamilton and Sebastian Vettel on the all-time Japanese GP winners’ list. Michael Schumacher tops the table with six wins at Suzuka between 1995-2004.
But how can you tune in to catch all the action from across the globe this year? Below, GOAL guides you through your viewing options for another thrilling year of F1 in 2025.
What is the next round of the 2025 Formula One season?
The Japan Grand Prix is the next round of the 2025 Formula One season, taking place on Sunday, April 6. The teams will travel to the Suzuka Circuit for another terrific weekend of motorsports action.
The Suzuka Circuit has held the Japan GP every year since 1987, aside from a two-year stint back at the Fuji Speedway (2007 & 2008) and the two years lost to the COVID-19 pandemic (2020 & 2021).
Suzuka is the only figure-eight race track to appear on the F1 calendar. The demanding and fast Japanese circuit has become very popular among drivers and fans and numerous dramatic and memorable moments in Formula One history have occurred there, including the duels between Senna and Prost.
