Jolyon Palmer rolls back the tape on the opening laps at Suzuka, breaking down every move off the grid. From the front-row scrap to the midfield chaos, Palmer dissects who nailed their getaway, who fumbled, and why those first few corners shaped the entire afternoon. It's the kind of frame-by-frame breakdown that turns a race start into a chess match.
Round 3 is in the books, and Kimi Antonelli is rolling. The young Italian cashed in on a well-timed safety car at Suzuka to grab back-to-back wins. Oscar Piastri looked sharp again in second, and Charles Leclerc rounded out the podium. Plenty to unpack here, plus the usual Bangers and Clangers. I'm Tommo. Let's talk about it.
Suzuka delivered drama in spades. A blistering final lap snatched pole when it mattered most, while one of the title contenders crashed out in stunning fashion in Q2, leaving the paddock stunned. The midfield squeezed tighter than ever, separated by mere hundredths. Catch every flying lap, every mistake, and every jaw-dropping moment from qualifying at the Japanese Grand Prix.
