F1 held the third round of its 2025 season at Suzuka in Japan yesterday .

Suzuka is one of the few old-school tracks left on the calendar.

It's a real driver's track; anyone who's played it in Forza , Gran Turismo , or the racing franchise of your choice will know what I mean.

The problem is that, like at Monaco and Catalunya , there's not really anywhere to overtake.
