Scheduling: The 2014 Japanese Grand Prix

The 2014 Formula One season has just five stops left, the first of which is at the legendary Suzuka circuit for the Japanese Grand Prix! Both channels are broadcasting both this and the Russian Grand Prix live and, as noted earlier this week, BBC are not screening either USA or Brazil live.

Over on Radio 5 Live, Jack Nicholls will be in the box as lead commentator for his third race of the year. I don’t think Natalie Pinkham will be with Sky again in Japan, so expect Rachel Brookes to be doing Pinkham’s usual duties. The F1 Show is a Team Principals special on Friday morning, so that should be good to watch.
