6th place in the WCC doesnt sound great but a great battle is to be had. There is an announced $9M Pay out prize for the Position with the current top 5 pretty much sealed. Peter sauber has said he would move heaven and hell for that position and so Sauber have some big updates for Suzuka. Great news for home man Kobayashi! Toro Rosso have also accelerated developments to thier nose and sidepods they hope to debut this weekend also. Force India introduced thier updates at the last race and are so far in pole position but can they hang on. It will be an interesting battle to watch when the drivers championship is wraped up.
Great article Bando, the midfield is where it's all happening this season. I wouldn't be so sure that renault have 5th sewn up though. That FI is looking impressive.
