Same as yeongam circuit, Vettel will lead from start till the end of the race! Will be another sedating race.. *yawn*

[NICO_4EVER]

I voted for Vettel, too. I doubt Lotus or any other team can win in Japan, unless something strange happens. Probability for rain in Japan is high, but Red Bull has been very good in any kind of weather this year.

That is normal when F1 comes to Japan - wich is great

[Ferrari92]

Red Bull has never won five consecutive GP.
Will they do it at suzuka?

[sermilan]

Yes!

Following on from my comment about people getting over-excited about normal things Kimi says, here is something genuinely good from him.

I wish more drivers told journalists when they were being stupid!

Only 19 drivers left...

Really enjoyed the 2nd practice on BBC with Davide Valsecchi.

"Grosjean is just a boy..and Raikkonen is a champion".

[mikhailv]

Valsecchi is a kimi fanboy. Funny though, Grosjean has let Kimi by more than Massa has let Alonso by since 2010 XD

[phil1993]

Red Bull's long run pace is very quick. Vettel averaging a 1.39.7 with Webber at 1.39.8. Next up is Massa on 1.40.4.

Watching FP2, anyone else notice how almost every car gets the back end out or struggles, yet the RBR's traction emulation keeps it so planted and controlled?
