Hope McLaren can swap Perez with hulkenberg for next year

Rare off for kimi

will anyone post some vids of the incidents?

edit, just saw Toto's thread...

I love the fact that Suzuka remains a hard track to master, as we have witnessed today.

not to curse the thread, but if accidents and incidents happen on Friday and Saturday, Sunday is usually on the boring side.

Thats why its called practice sessions, so you make mistakes without loosing anything. U only find the limits.

Mann are the cars slow here, last year they went 320kmh with DRS into 130R and now they barely manage 290kmh till 130R

Strange accident for Bianchi, hope his hand's ok in the end, he was exercising it a lot before getting out of the car ...

Also, I remember Fuji TV used to be rubbish at catching accidents but they seemed to get everything on camera at least, which is better than FOM of late ...

Degner's a difficult corner, but the lack of run off, and gravel for it, makes it so much less forgiving than recent circuits where most of these incidents except Bianchi's probably wouldn't have come to anything ...

Perez also needed some ice, but seems like Bianchi's crash hurt more.

I think he probably caught his hand on the wheel as he crashed with it sticking down a bit further than it would were it straight ... needs some pro tips from Danica, methinks.

Fuji TV aren't the host broadcaster anymore. Last year was the first Japanese GP done by FOM.

In which case, FOM have simply done a better job than they've been doing recently ... some of the Korea footage (in particular through the early part of the third sector) reminded me of 70s and 80s stuff where one or two cameras covered two thirds of the circuit.

Wow FOM covered Perez' accident from all possible angles at this corner. That is something special...

Who's the director anyway? It's not the same person all time, since sometimes we have a director who only shows crash scene 1 minute after the red flag (Monaco) and here they cut immediately to the action. Why cannot it always be the latter person.

While another couldn't take his focus off Alonso's new girlfriend last year. Not that I minded.

Monaco is the last race not done by FOM

This would be much better.

Sutil crashed right after the Spoon.

I think if you want that there is a Monaco GP each year, then well FOM wont do the job for this GP

Sutil's got a 5 grid spot penalty for a gearbox change.
