Only four days after the Russian GP<\/strong> weekend concluded, Formula 1 is at the Suzuka Circuit<\/strong> for the Japanese Grand Prix<\/a>.<\/strong> While Mercedes<\/strong> saw success with a 1-2 finish in Sochi<\/strong><\/a>, the \u201cteam orders\u201d controversy left a bad taste in everyone\u2019s mouth. The team hopes for a more civil weekend this time around.
