And just like that, Suzuka has gone and went for the 2025 season! Apart from some fires in free practice, felt like the race wasn't too eventful. Max winning was a bit of a surprise, and Yuki definitely looked a little shaky in his first race in the RBR. But time will tell if he can handle the hot seat. To be honest, I'm still getting used to Japan being in the spring, just feels like it should be a late season race! But in any case, let's take a look at the results over at BOFHQ!!!!
