el Gran Premio de Japón es uno de los escenarios que ha tenido momentos históricos de la Fórmula 1. En determinadas ediciones, el circuito ha sido testigo de grandes rivalidades como la de Ayrton Senna y Alain Prost en la temporada de 1989 y 1990, o del desenlace del campeonato entre Fernando Alonso y Michael Schumacher en el año 2006.
Gran Premio de Japón de 1989
En 1989, en el Circuito de Suzuka, Senna y Prost llegaban como los principales contendientes al campeonato mundial de F1. En ese momento, el piloto francés lideraba en puntos la temporada y, para asegurar el título, necesitaba terminar la carrera en la mejor posición posible. Sin embargo, Senna fue el que obtuvo la pole position. Durante la carrera, el brasileño arriesgo todo por ganar la carrera y seguir con posibilidades del título, y terminó por afectar a Prost en la curva 1, lo que hizo que su rival se saliera de la pista y terminará por abandonar la carrera.

Mientras que, Senna se mantuvo en pista y finalizó la carrera con una victoria, lo cual lo mantenía en la pelea por el título. Pero esto no duraría mucho y la FIA, tras investigar el incidente, decidió descalificar a Senna por lo ocurrido, al considerarlo como una maniobra deliberada para perjudicar a otro piloto. Por lo que, el francés se coronó campeón del mundo de 1989, y el incidente quedó como uno de los más caóticos y memorables de la historia de la F1. Una rivalidad que continuo creciendo, y se volvería a repetir en el mismo circuito.
Gran Premio de Japón de 1990
Un año después, la rivalidad entre Senna y Prost volvería a protagonizar en el Circuito de Suzuka. El piloto de Ferrari lideraba el campeonato y necesitaba asegurar un buen resultado para el título. Mientras que el brasileño luchaba por el campeonato con McLaren. La única opción para ellos, era ganar la carrera y esperar que Prost no terminara en zona de puntos.
SENNA Y PROST JAPON 1989 COLISION
En la salida, Senna intentó superar al piloto francés en la primera curva, pero terminaría en un choque que dejó a ambos pilotos fuera del GP de Japón. Este incidente reflejaría un tipo de ‘venganza’ por lo sucedido una temporada antes, la rivalidad ya había llegado a su máximo nivel y cruzado los límites. En 1990, Senna logró su sexto título mundial de F1. Pero ambos incidentes en el Circuito de Suzuka, continúan presentes al día de hoy por todos los aficionados, debido a la tensión y rivalidad que representó para la categoría de automovilismo.
Gran Premio de Japón de 2006
En 2006, Schumacher y Alonso estaban luchando por el campeonato, en lo que sería la última temporada del alemán con Ferrari. En el día de clasificación, Schumi luchaba por la pole position y realizó una maniobra de bastante ‘controversia’. Cerca de finalizar, el piloto se detuvo en una curva tras perder el control del coche, lo que provocó una bandera amarilla y que los demás pilotos, como Alonso, pudieran mejorar sus tiempos en la última vuelta, lo que permitió que mantuviera la pole.

Este incidente generó sospechas y críticas, ya que se consideraba que Schumacher lo hizo propósito para bloquear a sus rivales y asegurar la primera posición. Sin embargo, la FIA no pudo confirmar que la maniobra fue deliberada por lo que no hubo sanción para el piloto de Ferrari. En la carrera, Alonso ganó el GP de Japón, y ser terminó por coronar campeón del mundo. Asimismo, en 2006, el Káiser anunciaría su primera retirada dentro de la categoría, para después volver en la temporada 2010, pero ahora con Mercedes.

The Big Picture: Rams Ready for Seahawks, the Team Jared Verse ‘Dislikes the Most’
The rematch the Seattle Seahawks have been waiting for has arrived, but the Los Angeles Rams are just as ready as they are for Thursday's heavyweight NFC West tilt. Five weeks ago, the Rams edged out the Seahawks in a nail-biter at SoFi Stadium as Seattle kicker Jason Myers missed a 61-yard field goal at the buzzer. Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold had his worst performance since joining Seattle in that game, throwing four interceptions. But with the Seahawks still having an opportunity at the end, defensive players like Leonard Williams and Uchenna Nwosu said afterward they couldn’t wait to face the Rams at their place for the rematch.Well, the Rams can't wait, either. While the Rams-San Francisco 49ers rivalry might be the most competitive in the NFC West considering their recent success, second-year edge rusher Jared Verse pointed at the Seahawks […]
