5 Best F1 tracks of all time

#2 Suzuka, Japan

Talk about the culture. talk about the heritage, talk about passion, and what you do is you talk about Suzuka. You go and talk to the drivers up and down the grid and quiz them about their top 5 tracks and more often than not Suzula fits the bill and is one of the favourite tracks for any driver. The first sector with the Esses, the second with the Degners and the spoon curve and of course the 130R is a pleasure to drive.

It's a breathtaking view as well with the Japanese being one of the most passionate and respectful fans around the world (case in point, Japan was one of the few countries where Sebastian Vettel was not booed in 2013 when he went on a rampage, consistently winning race after race). Why it's not the best track in the world? It's got more to do with the characteristics of the circuit which doesn't really allow too many overtakes and maybe that's why it's just a notch below the best track on the F1 calendar.
