Shame for him he's driving in a circle and will just come back to them.

I see Japan has had some large typhoons lately.

Sunday morning qualifying anyone?

Not too large, hopefully. It is understood that any serious weather hazards hitting the remains of Fukushima could have atrocious consequences, much more dramatic than the initial meltdown.

Force India boss Vijay Mallya reckons a podium for his team could help them overtake Sauber

I think that Sauber will wrap up 6th when Perez wins on Sunday

Saw some stuff on Saward's blog about Force India's financial problems. A real shame as they're signing their drivers purely on merit and giving opportunities to young ones on Fridays. Have also been solid the last few years, hope they somehow pull through this. Would not begrudge either di Resta or Hulkenberg a podium.

5 place grid penalty for Button due to a gearbox change

[donald29]

That'll hurt. Race obviously means a lot to him.

5 place grid penalty for Button due to a gearbox change

I thought Button would win this race, but with the gearbox change I think it's Lewis who wins it. Ahead of Vettel and Alonso.

And I thought Schumacher is gonna win in Japan, but he has a 10 place grid penalty

Let's get political.

I also don't buy the fact that McLaren were woeful mid-season, as many people seem keen to point out. Button had a run of awful races where he just disappeared, but Lewis was always up there except for at Silverstone. And that was largely down to the wet qualifying from which he couldn't recover.

$100 million fine and constructors points removed.

Redbull laughing in the background after constant and countless illegal parts on their car.

Ferrari Smile. We all go WTF.

Yes,
Politics most definitely played by Ferrari here.
Let's see how this unfolds.
