The powerful typhoon that is heading for Japan’s main island this weekend could impact on the Formula One Japanese Grand Prix.
Typhoon Hagibis is expected to hit western and eastern Japan between Saturday and Sunday, the Japan Meteorological Agency said.
“The FIA, Formula 1, Suzuka Circuit and the Japanese Automobile Federation are closely monitoring Typhoon Hagibis and its potential impact on the 2019 FIA Formula 1 Japanese Grand Prix,” organizers said Thursday in a statement.
Monday is also a national holiday in Japan meaning Sunday’s race could potentially be pushed back a day.
Practice for the Japanese GP is scheduled for Friday with qualifying set for Saturday.
