Japanese Grand Prix, Suzuka Circuit (7 October): One of the most blisteringly quick circuits in the world, it boasts a skewed figure of eight shape. Its most notable feature is 130R, almost a homage to Eau Rouge and an unnervingly quick part of the circuit where ex-F1 racer Allan McNish among others have suffered nasty crashes, in his case back in 2002. Did you know? It was originally built as a test circuit for car manufacturer Honda.
