Ahead of this weekend's Fuji SFormula race, it's time to review the season so far and assess the chances of the four main title protagonists. Includes highlights compilation video of the first five races of 2023:
One area where Lawson still lacks is one-lap speed. While that’s not so much of an issue at Fuji, at Motegi and Suzuka he can’t realistically afford to be off the first couple of rows if he wants to take the fight to Miyata. Additionally, the New Zealander can’t afford any repeat of theand handed the initiative to the TOM’S driver. But his race pace at every venue so far has been remarkably consistent, again showcasing the adaptability he has showcased across many different series.
Following his only win of the season so far at Fuji, Nojiri said that his intra-team duel against Lawson had taken on a personal dimension, admitting that he . Perhaps the fact that Miyata and Tsuboi have also proven they are ready to take the fight to Lawson has alleviated some of that burden. Either way, his positive Sugo result owed more to strategy than outright speed, a luxury he probably won’t have this weekend at Fuji.Tsuboi heads into the second half of the season as the outsider in the title battle, having slipped more than a win’s worth of points behind fellow Toyota youngster Miyata after a disappointing run to seventh at Sugo.
is enjoying a much more positive campaign at Kondo Racing now armed with Sacha Fenestraz’s old chassis and race engineer, but he’s still lacking that final percentage of speed needed to be a genuine threat for wins. Likewise,appears to be held back by Dandelion Racing’s struggles to get on top of the SF23 package, with his Sugo podium owing more to strategy bravery than anything.
