Japan: The Land of the Rising Sun. What was once an isolationist, feudalistic, honour-based society has since…cherry blossomed into a financial and industrial powerhouse that is a world leader in electronics, engineering, and motor racing. Japan is an Asian oasis for motorsport, which has a highly respected domestic scene, reinforced by its incredibly prolific car manufacturing industry, and has also embedded itself into the European and North American scenes. When it comes to Formula 1, there have been 21 Japanese drivers, by far the most of any Asian nation, and many of them have attracted loyal fanbases, drawn to them by their hyper aggressive driving styles. When it comes to ranking them, I’ve decided once again to leave that to you: my subscribers. So, from the land of the samurai, sushi, Nintendo, karaoke and hentai, here’s your ranking of all 21 Japanese Formula 1 drivers.
