The Official Not606 Japanese GP Chat & Predictions

Absolutely gutted I forgot to vote for the Singapore race, I've voted for Vettel in every race this season, bar one, so thats where my vote would have gone. But thats my fault for not getting internet set up in my student house for a month. Got to be Vettel for this one though, surely?

 

Id imagine so. Another Red Bull domintation on the cards. With the McLarens scrapping for a podium place.

 

If by some pure chance it rains, I'll go Button, other than that it's Seb all the way.

 

Please go for Vettel

 

Lol, I've just realised that the poll refers to a track I'm unfamiliar with called "Sukuza"
Gotta love typos

 

Looking forward to seeing if the Italian commentary is as exciting as the Spanish one

 

As usual, i'm doing it differently. Logic suggests JB for the win. He's apparantly renting a flat in tokyo to help him acclimatise, plus the mclarens mechanical grip may come in handy. We all thought Hungary would be a RBR show, but Button won, so i'm expecting a repeat here.

 

DRS detection is just after 130R, activation after chicane

 

Wow they didn't put DRS where I imagined it. There's room on the track for three zones:
-Pit straight
-After Hairpin
-After Spoon
I thought it would have been the latter.

 

Hi guys, just to let people know I have gone back to my original name on here and am sticking with it, no more Thomsen- cheers all and have a good week, looking forward to the GP already!!

 

Sorry to be a pain again but can my namebe changed on this from Thomsen, also I'd like to pick Button instead of Hamilton if possible, cheers!!

 

Ill give young Vettel a vote, i hear he's a good driver.

 

Its true we all thought Red-Bull would repeat 2010 at hungary and yet McLarn won and should have had a 1 - 2 and we all thought spain would be thier terratory and McLaren had the best race car there as well. Well now we all think suzuka is a Red-Bull track.

I reckon Vettel will take pole, McLaren will be slow at the start of the race allowing Alonso past and then McLaren will be the best car in the 2nd half of the race but it will not be enough to beat Vettel.

I also reckon Hamilton will have an incident and lose further ground.

Should be a good race now Vettel is the only remaining driver who can prevent Button winning the WDC

 

Outside bet.

 

Mr Brundle, this races phrase is 'looks like his tyres are going off, he's sliding around like a greased halibut'

 

I love this track but I think I wont love this race. Red Bull 1-2 with a Vettel win looks most likely

 

Thats a good point actually. Hungary's sector two is probably the most relevant piece of information - where Red Bull had a small advantage. Then you have to take post-Hungary car development into account - McLaren haven't made significant progress, Ferrari's updates failed and now they're focused on 2012, while Red Bull introduced a big update at Spa and they've looked dominant since then.

Im confident that Ferrari will be a lot more competitive than they were in Singapore but not good enough to challenge Vettel imo.

 

lol he would have to do this for 5 races in a row and hope jenson has the pace win those races
