Japanese rider Tatsuki Suzuki made his Grand Prix debut in 2015, riding for the CIP team on the ever-improving Mahindra alongside fellow new recruit Remy Gardner. Suzuki raced in regional championships in his native Japan before making the move to Europe to ride in the FIM CEV Repsol series. His performances were good enough to earn him a World Championship seat for 2015 and 2016. For 2017, he changed to the new SIC58 Squadra Corse and took some solid results, before taking a step forward in 2018, in the top five and fighting at the front. He continued that form in 2019, proving a regular among the front positions and earning a first victory at the San Marino GP, the home event for Paolo Simoncelli's team. Continuing with the same team in 2020, he again regularly fought at the front claiming a victory at the Andalusian GP and one more podium. 2021 didn’t pan out as Suzuki would have liked, the Japanese rider failed to register a rostrum finish throughout the season despite regular top 10 finishes and he wound up 14th in the Championship, well below the pre-season expectation. 2022 saw him don fresh leathers with Leopard Racing, and it signalled a turnaround in his fortunes as he claimed three podiums and seventh in the Championship. The Japanese rider remains with Leopard for 2023, and will harbor serious title ambitions.
