SUZUKA, Japan – Typhoon Hagabis has forced officials to make a major schedule change for the Japanese Grand Prix at the Suzuka Int’l Racing Course.

With Hagabis expected to bare down on the track Saturday, the decision was made to cancel all of Saturday’s planned track activity for the Japanese Grand Prix.

The revised schedule will feature Formula One qualifying on 10 a.m. local time Sunday morning, with the Japanese Grand Prix scheduled to follow at 2 p.m. local time. There will not be a third practice session, with Friday’s two practice sessions the only on-track time for teams ahead of Sunday’s qualifying and race.

“As a result of the predicted impact of Typhoon Hagibis on the Formula One Japanese Grand Prix 2019, Mobilityland and the Japanese Automobile Federation (JAF) have decided to cancel all activities scheduled to take place on Saturday, 12 October,” read a statement from series officials.

“The FIA and Formula One support this decision in the interest of safety for the spectators, competitors and everyone at the Suzuka Circuit.”
