between vettel and lewis.i hope lewis wins,so ive chosen him.i hope alonso finishes outside of the points.very unlikely tho.
I am going to sleep early and then wake up at around 1, then stream FP1. I think Vettel or Hamilton will win this weekend to be honest.
I couldn't add any more images from my end, it says I exceeded 10000 characters, it doesn't matter anyway. Just looking at the firstrow sports stream, I am quite surprised at how good the quality is, I might choose it for the press conference.
Red Bull for me! Mclaren will fail their Wing test, Lewis's head will be elswhere and JB will be moaning of a lack of balance added to his 5 grid penalty. Vettle and Alonso on the podium at least.
Gonna have to stream this / watch the highlights now I'm at uni and have neither Sky nor a TV licence
Was going to vote Hamilton, but if McCheater lose their flexi-wing advantage, Ferrari might have a chance to win. EDIT: I can't wait for that press conference!
It's a bit late in the day for this new test, especially as its passed 9 months of tests already. It's a long way to fly out a new wing
Same here, everybody bar/Michael that was in the recent transfers is in the conference, it might be the highlight of the weekend!!! It's going to be tense as ****.
Pirelli’s motorsport director Paul Hembery says: “Suzuka is definitely one of the highlights of the Formula One calendar for us: it’s a classic drivers’ circuit, a bit like Spa or Monza, with some of the most awesome corners that we see all year and very little margin for error. While it might at first seem from the names of the compounds that we are bringing harder tyres to Japan this year, in fact they are softer. Despite the increased demands that this places on the compound and structure, they are still more than capable of withstanding the immense forces to which they are subjected lap after lap. With a full step between the compounds as well, we hope this will bring extra performance and excitement to what is already a classic race. This should also open up the opportunity for lots of different strategies.” Suzuka’s single DRS Zone is 20m shorter this year than in 2011. The detection point is 50m before Turn 16 and the activation zone starts at the start-finish line after Turn 18. In other circuit changes, the whole West Course (from Turn 7 until after the chicane) has been resurfaced, while new storm water drainage systems have been installed around the newly resurfaced section of track. Driver changes for opening practice only will include Giedo van der Garde in for Heikki Kovalainen at Caterham, the Dutchman getting his first Friday outing since the Chinese round back in April. The weather is expected to be settled, with a mixture of partial cloud and sunshine, and ambient temperatures of around 25 degrees throughout the weekend. Sunday’s race will run over 53 laps of the 5.807 kilometre (3.608 mile) circuit, or 307.471 kilometres (191.056 miles). It starts at 1500 hours local time, 0600 GMT.
I just don't know what I'm most excited for this race weekend.... the press conference, watching F1 at 2am in the morning, flexi wing gate mark 2, epic qualifying or race day? I'm being spoilt!
