The Suzuka circuit is so smooth, its like every corner melds into the next one. Specially the first sector.

[S_Rk]

So stable, no bouncing
An amazing evolution compared to the first races

[herrwagner]

Sector 1 is the best 30 seconds of the F1 season. Welcome back Suzuka. 🇯🇵

The grip and acceleration of that car is insane

[paulflood]

The confidence to throw the car into turns 1, the first Degna and spoon and trust the car will stick is insane. The bravery of these guys is amazing.

It’s very interesting that the wide line is working at the hairpin despite the bank angle being pretty shallow

[nukonukospiritr]

Car seems MUCH MORE stable than earlier this season, it's crazy how advanced Redbull's developing is

[fedealbanello]

One of best circuits in the f1 history

It would be VERY interesting to see an "eye heat map" tracking where Max is looking during a lap like this.

would be so amazing for Max to win the championship this weekend at Honda's home track!

Suzuka, designed by Hans Hugenholtz in 1962 and is known for his very flowy designs. Which you can see back in circuits like Zolder, Hockenheimring and Zandvoort.

Star of the season I thought these cars looked slow but now they look insane.

[brdy]

The speed is bonkers. I love Suzuka so much.

[chanchaniceman]

Watching these new era of cars handling Suzuka’s sector 1 is honestly amazing to watch also just how this car is so stable which gives max so much confidence to push it

[CaptainTexas]

Suzuka is so buttery smooth you can’t even hear the floor pan drag. Insane especially with all the earthquakes in Japan. No wonder the drivers like it.

[sohankulkarni]

Just to mention .... This would have given him pole in 2023 as Because he just put 1.28.841 today at suzuka!!!! Incredible!!!

[AndrewTSq]

This is how F1 tracks should be. Not these boring city-tracks. They make me loose all faith in F1s future.

[sakhesengwayo]

Suzuka is such an iconic track. I rank it amongst Monoco and SPA.

[TheNumberOneFexafan]

The Evolution of Redbull's pace has been stunning to watch throughout the years!

[reversal]

Nothing beats this first sector, tomorrow’s race is going to be so awesome! I’m glad new F1 will be able to experience this stunning track!!
