The fourth round of the 2024 Formula 1 season begins with the two opening practice sessions for the Japanese Grand Prix and you can follow the action here.
Verstappen leads Red Bull 1-2 with the final 15 minutes to runOur sole rookie in this session is continuing to do a solid job at RB. Iwasa is 15th and his personal best is nine-tenths of a second off team-mate Tsunoda as he continues to build speed.To underline that fact, Verstappen has switched onto the hard tyres, as his place at the top of the times looks assured.Into the final 10 minutes of FP1 and most drivers have switched focus to some long-run data gathering.
Stroll and Albon are both still stuck in the garage so we won't expect any lap times from them for the time being. In fact, most drivers are in the pits following their opening runs.Iwasa's first lap time is a 1m34.803s which puts him in last place and 3s off the pace - but given it is first-ever full lap of Suzuka in an F1 car we will cut him some slack.After Verstappen posted his first lap time, it means we're just missing Stroll, Iwasa and Albon from the mix.
