Japanese Grand Prix tyre selection reveals that Mercedes already are on a different path than Ferrari and Red Bull. McLaren is expected to produce solid results in Japan as well.

This is likely reflective of the tricky corners and Ricciardo’s ability to find overtaking opportunities.
Most of the grid leans towards softer compounds but all this could get be impacted by Typhoon Hagibis in which the teams would be able to pull out the green slicks. But management of slicks then becomes a concern.
