2014 FORMULA 1 JAPANESE GP - SUZUKA After the beautiful night race at Singapore, the F1 circus arrives at one of it's most amazing stages of the season, an old school and challening track, loved by almost every single driver in the grid, Suzuka! After the Singapore GP, Lewis Hamilton took the championship lead and aims for his first ever win at Suzuka to extend his lead. The 15th Round of the 2014 season has everything to be another great battle for the Mercedes couple, who will be fighting very hard once again, heading to the final races of the season.

[usual rant] Best track in the calendar, as Spa has already been sterilized. I'm honestly surprised Suzuka hasn't been pussified even after the crashfest qualifying in 2009. Though it's not a matter of "if" but "when" every corner gets tarmaced/changed. One bigger accident and that's it. Despite the great characteristic the races here usually tend to be dull. It's so annoying that exciting oldschool layout = dull race & dull tilkedrome layout = exciting race. Wish it would be other way around. [/usual rant] Anywho. Looking forward to the whole weekend (must wake up for FP1/FP2/FP3). |

Max Verstappen confirmed to drive in the friday practice becoming the youngest driver ever with 17 years and 3 days. |

I enjoyed the GP history in photos. By the way what do you think the odds are that Master Verstappen will end up in a barrier at some point... Definitely a tough track to make your debut. |

I love Suzuka. One of those tracks that has been part of F1 folklore since it started. Senna's first championship, Senna and Prost (twice), Eddie Irvine's first race, Hakkinen's two WDCs, etc. etc. Its not the best track for overtaking, its probably one of the worst. But who cares, its always great to see drivers challenged and mistakes punished. |

I think he's going to proof one of the side are right. So either he's stunning and Red Bull is right for letting him race next season or he has a horrible session and the other camp can scream louder its too soon for him. |

Yeah, Suzuka is a very difficult place to have your debut. I think Verstappen will try to keep it safe, not pushing it too much, just to make sure he will get the track time experience. But who knows, Suzuka is very tricky and even the smaller mistakes are punished and there's also the chance of some rain for friday. Anyway, I'm really looking forward to watch him drive, I was a big fan of his father and I hope Max can fulfill all the expectations over him. |

Start praying that the tyfoon doesn't come too close on Sunday. Seems very wet at the moment, iono if they'll even race. |

F1 never really had the situation but came close a few times (Tyfoons on Saturdays at Suzuka). What if it is really impossible to race on Sunday? Cancel or postpone (to Monday)? I believe the latter may not even be possible. |

Or, everyone remains reasonable, shows some restraint and stops judging a driver on one single session. Oh wait. No, that's beyond the realm of possibility. |
