After a soaking Suzuka trip for last year's Japanese Grand Prix, are we set for another downpour for this weekend's trip to Mie Prefecture?

The spectacular figure-of-eight circuit put on a show for its post-Covid return last year, where we scored a memorable top-10 finish with Nicholas Latifi.

Is it Suzuka sunshine or Suzuka showers for this year's trip to the track everyone loves?
