Let's talk about Japan.

With the 2025 Formula 1 season underway, we move on to round 3, Japan. A two week break between China and Suzuka, brought us drama. But so did China. We made our predictions early this month, and now.....I'm not sure what to expect.

Let's start with the big news. Yuki Tsunoda finally gets the call up to the senior team. A debut at his home race, in a car he has tried to get in for years. We could be watching a fairy tale in the making.

Personally, I love this. I'm a fan of Yuki. Outside of Mclaren, he is probably my favorite. Yes. He lacks the podiums. And the wins. But he is in a midfield car, and at time, a backmarker. We have to remember though, he beat every test Red Bull threw at him.....Liam, Danny Ric, Nik DeVries, and was fairly consistent with Pierre Gasly when he first joined what was then Alpha Tauri.

Will he prevail? Only time will tell. But I don't think anyone else is as qualified to take over this seat. Root for Yuki or you're a communist.

Next up, Ferrari.

What happened. Seriously. I need answers. From P2 in constructors last year, to signing the statistically greatest driver of all time to partner your golden boy. What the heck happened.

Lewis had a good showing at the sprint in Shanghai, but both cars DSQ at the main event? Really living that clown meme aren't ya Ferrari.

I'm not sure what needs to happen, but I have a feeling this is not going to be a good year for the Tifosi.

Williams.

17 points last year. 17 points in 2 rounds this year. Albono is driving like a number 1, and Carlos is keeping up. Watch out for Williams in a few years. Also, i may have been wrong about Alex Albon in my predictions.

Haas.

Ciao, Ciao, Ciao......if nothing else, Ollie Bearman will be remembered for two things. His debut last year with Ferrari, and his radio in Shanghai.

Ill admit, I was worried after Australia. I want Bearman to do good. I followed him through the junior formulas and was super happy when he got the Haas drive. But Melbourne gave me doubts.

After Shanghai, those doubts are gone.

We are also officially adopting Ollie Bearman as the very first Formula 1 Racing Idiot. We are going to reach out to his camp for a "21 questions"

All in all, this season is already proving to be just as good as last year, if not better. A teammate battle for drivers championship? Kimi Antonelli already proving everyone right? Be excited folks. It's going to be a long fun ride.
