The typhoon is predicted to be one of the most violent tropical storms to hit the region in recent years and is expected to strike the Tokyo area this weekend.

Rugby World Cup organisers have announced that Saturday's games between England and France and New Zealand and Italy have been cancelled. Sunday’s game between Japan and Scotland is in doubt due to the potential impact of the typhoon.

“The FIA , Formula One, Suzuka Circuit and the Japanese Automobile Federation are closely monitoring Typhoon Hagibis and its potential impact on the 2019 FIA Formula One Japanese Grand Prix,” organisers said on Thursday. “Every effort is being made to minimise disruption to the Formula One timetable, however the safety of the fans, competitors and everyone at the Suzuka Circuit remains the top priority,” it said, adding that updates would be provided in due course.
