In Suzuka, Nakajima plays at home

The only Japanese driver on the field, Kazuki Nakajima will be at home this weekend in Suzuka where the Japanese GP is taking place. The pilot Williams will try to erase his frustration from last weekend when he placed ninth. “ For me, the Singapore Grand Prix turned out to be a solid but insignificant race “, he says. " I haven't had bad times or good times. We were strong all weekend and consistent but at the end of the race, I was not able to gain enough position to get into the points. I just hope I will be able to achieve it at home this week. »

On a track he has known since his childhood, Nakajima will count on the support of Japanese fans to achieve his objective. “ I kind of grew up in Suzuka and that's where I started the karting. I have been to the circuit many times for races F1 but also other disciplines; so I feel at home in Suzuka. »

« Suzuka has a very technical track. He adds. " It is designed in the shape of an eight and offers 16 slow and fast turns. One of my favorite curves is the famous 130R which is unforgiving. It's a very fast circuit, so you need to make sure your car is well balanced. The only thing you need to watch out for in Japan at this time of year is the weather which can change very quickly and can make things more exciting. »
