A view from the top

BBC F1 presenter Suzi Perry has hit new heights in Japan this week - by hiking to the top of Mount Fuji, as you can see from this spectacular picture that she posted on her Twitter timeline on Wednesday!

No hope of spotting the Suzuka race track from this high up of course, but we're pretty sure you'll be able to see the majestic Mount Fuji itself from ground level at the race track once coverage starts on Friday morning.

Don't be fooled by the glorious weather in that picture - the forecast is for heavy rain on Thursday then showers on Friday and Saturday. Hopefully the sun will return in full strength for Sunday and the Grand Prix itself.
