What are the strategy options for the Japanese Grand Prix?

Kimi Antonelli has secured pole position at Suzuka, following his recent success in Shanghai. Suzuka remains a challenging high-downforce circuit where track position is critical, as evidenced by seven of the last eight Japanese Grands Prix being won from pole. While the 2026 regulations provide teams with enhanced overtaking tools, drivers may still need to rely on strategic tyre and pit stop management to gain a competitive advantage given the narrow nature of the track.
