Yippey!

Back to Suzuka

This and Monaco, is my favourite track. Dont get anything better then this!

This race will be awsome, i've seen many replays of previous races and they all rock, hard to overtake but still lots of great races

Suzuka, probably best track in this season. Looking forward to race, I'd like to see something like 2005 Japanese GP.

And Zeug, go on for some raindance.

Despite Fuji providing us with two great races, I'm glad Suzuka is back

Thanks Zeug



I really hope Barichello gets the win here man, also Räikkönen for podium =

Me hopes for Rubens win, and Hamilton on the podium.

And also lots of overtaking. Then me be happy

Just the thought of racing on suzuka again makes me tingle.

I thought the thread title was wrong for a minute

Looking forward to this one, Suzuka is great, and the weather could make it very interesting...Zeug's obviously been hard at work

Quote from Intermediate07 :

some rain during the race would be great but I'd like to have a dry start with rain comin' down in lap 2

Yes and after that red flag because of FIA safety rules.

Sod Hamilton.

Anyway, 5). Button seems to have the championship, but you never know! If he wins at Suzuka, and Barrichello scores low, he might win it for sure! Then again, there's Abu Dhabi too...

EDIT: Is it me or did they foot around with the hairpin, looks less tight for some reason

A Red Bull driver will win.

If Button wins the championship he won't have won it because he deserved it more than anyone else, but because everyone else deserved it less then him, if that makes sense.

What I mean is, he shouldn't be able to get away with such poor showings, but his main rivals have been so crap at putting a sustained challnge together that they deserve it less than him.

Why can't anyone crash at a later stage??

At least it makes the rest of the season easier to watch. I'm enjoying the battle for the scraps.

Then say that, take number 5 for example.
5) Crash at start, some overtakings, Button wins WITH... Serveral crashes later on.

I think it will be cause Brawn GP find a hole in rules, and used double diffusors before everyone else. Once it was declared legal, all teams catched up, hence why he hasn't won ever since

Barrichello has won since, and the Brawns are very much on the pace. What's more, other teams were using the double diffuser and not performing nearly as well as the Brawns. But Button really has let his game slip lately. I hope he can win the championship in style, winning at least one more race this season.

Yes, but they had those diffusors up and tested way before anyone else. Others implemented them in a rush, without proper testing, that's why this season was a circus really.. you're telling me he would've won those 6 races if Brawn didn't had those diffusors?

They wouldn't have won the 6 races, no. I'm sure they would have won races and I reckon Button would probably still be the championship leader, but by less of a margin. All of this is just guessing, there's no way to turn back time and see what could have been.

Hopefully next year it will be easier to see who is actually the best driver.

Most of the rival teams had their double diffusers in place a few races before Silverstone if I remember correctly, I think there is more to it than that.

Brawn's car is still up the top end, Rubens has showed us that, I think the problem may be more to do with Button than the team.

21) Slight south easterly prevailing wind, with a faint smell of beef in the air. Trees will have four legs, and dance to The Prodigy. Cars drive around a circuit.
22) Scotland invades, much haggis is eaten. Wenches are pillaged, and beer is drunk. Cars drive around a circuit.
23) Banana

I choose 23. You?
