Mercedes have finished first and second in three of the last five editions of the Japanese Grand Prix, with every race in the V6 Hybrid era going the way of the Silver Arrows.

A repeat of last year's one-to will see a sixth straight constructors' championship secured, with Lewis Hamilton also closing in on his own title number six.

Despite a one-two finish in Russia last time out, the story does not start and stop there, with Ferrari the form team in Sochi until team orders chaos and Sebastian Vettel's retirement threw the Scuderia's race into disarray.

Charles Leclerc came into the weekend on a run of four straight pole positions, while Red Bull will hope Max Verstappen can make a splash in Honda's home race and have armed the Dutchman with the upgrades to do so.
