It's one of the world's busiest - and quirkiest - cities and F1 drivers have been out and about in Tokyo in brief break between the Malaysia and Japanese Grands
Prix.
A lot of the F1 paddock flew straight from Kuala Lumpur to Tokyo after Sunday's race to spend a few days in the Japanese capital before travelling south to Suzuka.
Williams drivers Felipe Massa and Lance Stroll were quickly back behind the wheel… in real-life Mario Karts, for a special Sky Sports F1 feature!
They joined the road cars for a unique tour of city's busy streets alongside Simon 'Donkey Kong' Lazenby and Johnny 'Bowser' Herbert for a special feature which will run in Sky F1's exclusively live coverage of the Japanese GP.
Don't miss it over the weekend!
