I ve only read that they ve actually considered the option of canceling the race if that haze should be too bad.

Rumour has it that Lewis acquired all of the smoke machines available to improve his entrance on the track.

Really? I heard it was Honda doing a systems and start-up check after using a couple more development tokens.

Cant see how a little haze would be a threat.

I always look forward to this race, but sadly it can be summarised in one word - field spread.

I don't get it why everyone hype this race. Last year TBK rating was 3.52 and in 2013 it was 4.18. Almost the worst of the season.
Though, it would be a loss to see the race canceled. Why couldn't it be Sochi or Abu Dhabi instead?

if the cars were less reliable and harder to drive this race would be the best, as it almost reach 2 hours and is very tough even for a night event

Someone binning it on piquet straight or in the tunnel and bringing out the sc is the only hope for this race.

Mind you if Nico makes his customary crap start it could be interesting. ....

Exactly! Reminds me of what Phoenix was during the 3 years the race was held there!

Blahh that's nothing. This is what it is like every other day for me here in China. On a "good clear" day the blue sky only has a grayish tinge to it. Coming up to winter and the visibility drops to about 50 meters from the chocking smog. Strangely you get used to it.....but your lungs don't.

If the drivers can see the backlight of the car ahead, I see no difference between wet conditions with water spray. Just a reminder from last year at Suzuka. Image
Helicopter cameras might be rendered useless but luckily we're in the middle of the city, so no need for medical helicopter.

I hadn't considered that. Good point.
