The universally-beloved Suzuka circuit’s longer-term F1 future may be complicated by designs for a race in one of Japan’s biggest cities

The city of Osaka in Japan is considering hosting a Formula 1 race, potentially on city streets.

The local authorities are supportive as long as private funds can be raised for a long-term deal.
