"Red Bull and Ferrari Face Tyre Wrecker Threat at Japanese GP"

The Japanese Grand Prix at Suzuka is expected to be challenging for teams due to high track temperatures and a decrease in grip compared to last year. Only eight drivers have two sets of hard tires available, while the rest have a combination of mediums and softs. McLaren could benefit from their double hard tire allocation, potentially giving them a tactical advantage against Red Bull. Mercedes and Ferrari are in a battle for second place in the constructors' championship, with Mercedes looking to exploit their tire advantage. The tire strategy offset could play a crucial role in the outcome of the race.
