Formula One racing comes to its season end as the Japanese Grand Prix takes place in Suzuka, Japan on Sunday, October 4th.

This year, the race comes with just two remaining on the list, Brazil and Abu Dhabi.

One driver that has confidence that he will perform well this year is Adrian Sutil, of Force India. He says that he with the right track, and the fact that he has previous experience on the Suzuka track will give him what it takes it to win. His team will be looking to add points to their total and raise them further on the rankings. This is the first time in three years that this circuit returns to the Formula One calender. The track itself is 5.807 kilometers in length with the entire race being just over 307 kilometers. This race has been held thirty five time since its inception in 1963.

The first two Japanese Grand Prix races were held at the Fuji Speedway in 1976 and 1977. Japan was then taken off the calender but returned in 1987 from Suzuka. The race has been held there nearly the entire time for the past twenty years and this circuit consistently challenges drivers. The Japanese Grand Prix briefly moved to the Fuji Speedway in 2001, and was held there again in 2008, but this year is back at Suzuka. This is a great race to watch because it is the deciding factor on so many Formula 1 Championships, being so near the Championships. In fact out of the last 24 Japanese Grand Prix that have been hosted 12 World Championships have been crowned.

The first Formula 1 Japanese Grand Prix was held at the Fuju Speedway, which lies to the west of Yokohoma. The first was was to decide the Championship between Niki Lauda and James Hunt, but Lauda withdrew from the race because of an earlier injury at the German Grand Prix and fear of the danger the race presented. Hunt went on to win the title and returned the following year to win the Japanese Grand Prix that year. However, tragedy struck, and Ronnie Peterson and Gilles Villeneuve collided and the Ferrari being driven by Villeneuve ended up in the spectators area, killing two members of the crowd. This took the Japanese Grand Prix off the Formula 1 Calender for 10 years.

In 2006, it was decided that the race would alternate between Suzuka and Fuju. The circuit had been redesigned for the purpose, and this was met with opposition by some, since Suzuka has been a favorite circuit of both fans and drivers alike, as well as the mixed reviews that the newly redesigned track has gotten. However, in 2009 Toyota made the announcement that the race would not be held at the Fuji Speedway after 2010, because of the economy. It is unknown whether or not the 2010 race will move back to Suzuka or whether it will temporarily go to another Japanese circuit.

The 2007 race saw heavy rain hit the track and therefore the race started behind the safety car. This race ended with Lewis Hamilton on the top podium position, with his team mate Fernando Alonso having a serious crash. The runners up was Heikki Kovalainen, which was his best result at the race to date, and then Kimi Raikkonen took third place. This was important because it was the first time that two drivers from Finland shared the Podium at the same time.

The 2008 race saw the Mclaren vehicles as well as the Ferraris have trouble on the first corner of the race, which left it open for Fernando Alonso to slide up to the front and take the title in his Renault. Felipe Massa and Lewis Hamilton were involved in a minor collision and Massa received a penalty and ended up in sixth place. Hamilton also received a penalty for a different incident.

Michael Shumacher has the most wins for this race having taken the title in 1995, 1997, 2000 and 2001 as well as in 2002 and 2004. That's a total of six wins for him, giving him four more than anyone else. Those drivers with two wins each include Gerhard Berger, Ayrton Senna, Damon Hill, Mika Hakkinen and Fernando Alonso. Alonso had his two in 2006 and 2008, Haikkinen was in 1998 and 1999. Damon Hill won in 1994 and 1996. Senna took the title in 1988 and then again in 1993 while Gerhard Berger won in 1987 and in 1991.

Other winners have included Fernando Alonso for Renault in 2006, with the race held in Suzuka and Kimi Raikkonen for McLaren in 2005. It was Shumacher in 2004 and Rubens Barichello in 2003 driving for Ferrari. German driver Michael Shumacher took the title in 2002, 2001 and 2000.
