• Carlos Sainz tackles his third race as a Williams driver in the Japanese GP. Suzuka is one of his favorite tracks and last season he finished on the podium in third place.
• The Williams driver is determined to maximize the performance of the FW47 together with his team from the get-go of this triple-header, which will later continue in Bahrain and Saudi Arabia.
• The weather forecast suggests it is going to be a sunny weekend, although clouds are expected for Sunday and episodes of rain are not ruled out completely.

QUOTES:
“As we head to Japan for what will be the start of the triple header, I’ve been working with the team since China to try to further understand the car characteristics at the first two races and try unlocking something extra for the upcoming races. Suzuka is an incredible circuit to drive and one that we all love racing at. It’s one of my favourite venues of the season and you can always count on the welcoming Japanese fans to brighten our stay! I’m looking forward to putting together a solid weekend with the team and starting the first triple header of the year on the right foot!”.
