  • Japan has finally opened their borders up to tourists and I brought 5 of my family with me for the rain soaked Japanese Formula 1 GP at the Suzuka F1 circuit. Join us on the JAL business class flight from Singapore to Tokyo and a quick look at a couple of Tokyo sites in this video.

    Love Japan. We too flew JAL business class as covid was hitting. Yep cabin was hot. Food pretty average. But the seat compared to other BC seats we have flown was the best. As we had to run for home as the border closed we never got to finish our trip, but would love to go back. Beautiful country. Beautiful people. Maybe F1.

I’ve seen races in Brazil and in Austin Texas throughout my life ( I’m a 52 year old woman ) and I almost bought the ticket to see F1 this year . Lewis is smart . He will win his 8th championship no matter what
