At the Japanese Grand Prix, Pirelli provided the drivers with the tire compounds P Zero Hard (orange), P Zero Medium (white) and P Zero Soft (yellow), as well as Cinturato Intermediates (green) and Cinturato Full Wets (blue) for wet conditions .

The race stewards were Garry Connelly (AUS), Takashi Mitarashi (JAP), Emanuele Pirro (ITA) and Vincenzo Spano (VEN).
