Find out everything you could ever want to know about the Japanese GP as F1 makes its annual trip to the legendary Suzuka circuit.
Form guide
The Japanese Grand Prix has been won by Sebastian Vettel for three of the last four years, with Jenson Button's 2011 victory the only blemish on the German's record since the race returned to Suzuka after two years at Fuji.
Ferrari dominated the race at the start of the century with five successive victories, but the last of those came from Michael Schumacher in 2004 - a run Fernando Alonso desperately needs to put to an end this weekend to keep his slim title hopes alive.
2012 result: 1. Sebastian Vettel (Red Bull); 2. Felipe Massa (Ferrari); 3. Kamui Kobayashi (Sauber); 4. Jenson Button (McLaren); 5. Lewis Hamilton (McLaren); 6. Kimi Raikkonen (Lotus); 7. Nico Hulkenberg (Force India); 8. Pastor Maldonado (Williams); 9. Mark Webber (Red Bull); 10. Daniel Ricciardo (Toro Rosso).
Last five winners at Suzuka: 2012: Sebastian Vettel (Red Bull); 2011: Jenson Button (McLaren); 2010: Sebastian Vettel (Red Bull); 2009: Sebastian Vettel (Red Bull); 2006: Fernando Alonso (Renault).
Tyre allocation
Pirelli will bring the two hardest compounds in their range - the white-banded medium tyres and the orange-marked mediums.
They say this is to "soak up the high-energy demands of rapid corners such as 130R and Spoon". This is a more conservative choice than in 2012 when the soft compound was coupled with the hard, although this year's rubber is a step softer than last year's equivalent.
