Round Fourteen of the season takes us to the high speed Suzuka Curcuit. Suzuka is a fast flowing figure of eight circuit featuring iconic corners and was originally built as a test track for Honda. The figure of eight layout is one of the most demanding on the calendar.<\/p>\n

The circuit was built in 1962 but didn\u2019t hold a Grand Prix until 1987. The circuit was the final round for many years and saw many titles decided. There were many fights in the late 80\u2019s and early 90\u2019s between Alian Prost and Ayrton Senna.<\/p>\n

In everyone\u2019s mind will be what happened here almost a year ago and the death of Jules Bianchi in July.<\/p>\n
