A new circuit for all the drivers this weekend, although some have driven it in lesser formulae.
Will it be as good as Suzuka? It has the longest straight on the calendar at just under a mile long so there should be some overtaking under braking.. please!
P.S. I will update the last 2 rounds.. when i get round to it.. honest

Curiosity has me interested in this race, but honestly I just dont see this Tillkedrome being even close to suzuka in terms of its challenge, The last few corners just look a mess. On the plus side Suzuka is back in 2009.

Tilke's ruined a genuinely great high speed track, which is obscured in a tarmac jungle...
As for the race:
Hamilton
Massa

Another bad day at the office for Lewis...
I wonder if 18 years later we'll have another McLaren coming together at the Japanese grand prix? If I was Lewis and Alonso does what he did at Spa, I'd hold my line and make sure if he took me out he went out too...

Yeah thats real smart way to go about handing Kimi the title. So Please lewis, hold that line, give Ferrari both titles.
On the plus side at least the race is going to be made interesting thanks to the weather, a foggy race.
Otherwise the track is generally boring although the 100r into the hairpin is really good from an F1 cars point of view.

Nice parade so far
That is unless your name happens to be Kimi Raikkonen.

I thought once the drivers were forced to grow a pair, the race turned out not to bad. Well done to Lewis for all but securing the title, he drove a good race, not quite the backside kissing race the itv team gave him, I think that goes to Sutil or Kovalinen. I feel sorry for vettel, I feel he's being unfairly blamed for the accideent, looked a case of Webber heating the brakes at the same time seb was doing the rears, and as Lewis said, he thought webber was going to cause an accident by the way he was driving. Ferrari desperatly need Brawn back, that whole race would never have happend the way it did with him in charge.

I'd also like to add, James Allen, new holder of the comentators curse. Not once but twice, he says what a good race so and so is having, firstly Lewis/ kubica, then webber/ vettel, and that hoping nothing bad would happen, and as if by magic boom, accident.

I quite agree - in the lap preceeding the Webber/Vettel accident Webber was obviously trying to get in Hamilton's mirrors, lunging either side of him, and his driving was erratic, if not completely random, and although undoubtedly the collision was Vettel's fault, Webber didn't do himself any favours.
As he implied though, maybe it's time the sponsors took more of a backseat, and more drivers take the traditional route up to F1, by completing at least a year in F3 and GP2 (as it almost exclusively used to be, although with F3000)...
Good race though, worth getting up for.
[edit 1] James Allen also had me gripping a wooden table for the last lap and a half!
[edit 2] I wonder if Massa really did need more fuel?
Today had the perfect excuse to let Kimi through on the road, just run wide a bit!

Liuzzi punished for passing under yellows so Sutil gets the 8th place
good for him and Spyker, they deserved it. If it isn't Alonso I could see him getting a seat at Toyota next season.

i still cant speak after the Webber thing...the bit where be backed into the driver behind him.
they cut out the interviews here to jump to Rugby Union, but if Lewis did say that about M.W, then thats a bit rich of Lewis. MW had every right to show LH he was there and try to convince Ron to say to Lewis "let him go, Kimi is still 4/5th" ...
oh dear. Fwiw, SV deserved reward, a tragedy for both. hats off to Kimi and Lewis for great drives.
When you go back to the wet race earlier this year, you recall how Alonso was bragging of his love for wet conditions....
, boy Lewis will be grinnin now, even if he has been using Mr Alonso's setups to get where he is.
anyway, back to my sulking
I never heard a F1 driver say the "f" word since the Mansel days...hehe onya Mark.

What a race.. Good to see DC up there again, Heikke had a blinder as did Webber and Vettell until the accident. Hats off to Kimi too, the way he was throwing the Ferrari about towards the end made me laugh (in admiration) finding quicker lines on the run off areas.. what a boy
So it looks like Lewis has it in the bag now, it's his to lose although I can't see it. Even if he finishes behind the 2 Ferraris and Alonso in the last 2 races he's the champ.
All hail Lewis

I take it you didn't hear any of Trulli's radio conversations last year then?

All very well, but behind the safety car Lewis couldn't really just let him through...
All it needed was for Webber to aquaplane whilst he was messing around behind the safety car, and both he and Lewis would've been out.

Lol, I'd have done better if I hadn't managed to completely forget about some races, and if I swayed from my standard prediction of Hamilton Massa Heidfeld!
