Post subject: | FORMULA 1 2017 - ROUND 16 JAPANESE GP - SUZUKA |
2017 FORMULA 1 JAPANESE GRAND PRIX - SUZUKA After the farewell of the Malaysian Grand Prix with a very good race, F1 arrives at one of the most amazing places of the season, Suzuka! The Japanese Grand Prix has been traditionaly one of the races with the best public attendance of F1 and the participation of Pierre Gasly who's currently 2nd in the Japanese Super Formula season in this edition will probably attract even more people to the circuit. The Japanese crowd is probably the best among all, with passionate fans and incredibly creative ways to show their affection to their beloved teams and drivers, like the most amazing and well thought hats F1 has ever seen. The season is coming to it's final stint, with five races to go, Hamilton could set quite a good gap to Sebastian Vettel, although, the Ferrari car looks stronger now and Mercedes will have a hard time managing that, which creates a great atmosphere for the GP! In Malaysia, Red Bull also showed a strong pace and Verstappen in a perfect day, scored his 2nd win in the series, in a race marked by the incredible recovery from Sebastian Vettel who after coming from last place, almost got into the podium and also by the bizarre accident between the same Vettel and Williams rookie Lance Stroll after the race was completed. Suzuka isn't an easy track to overtake and qualifying session will be very important, Mercedes, Ferrari and Red Bull never looked so mixed up like they are now, so we can expect a fantastic battle for pole and an interesting strategy building for the upcoming race. The 2017 races celebrates 30 years from the first time F1 ever stepped into Suzuka Circuit, way back in 1987. Hopefully we will have a race decent enough to honour such milestone!

Mercedes has won here the last three years along with pole the last three years. Let's hope this year is different. I voted Ricciardo as the winner... |

Interesting fact is that neither of the last four pole sitters are in F1 anymore as they were shared between Rosberg (3) and Webber (1)! |

That stat will be broken this year no doubt. |

Round 16... 20 years ago it would be season finale and Hamilton could've been crowned yesterday |

Yeah, but if Palmer or Ericsson miraculously get the pole, we might get that record extended next year. It's kinda like that record of most GPs for one team only goes always back to Jim Clark. |

I wonder if Hamilton will finally grab a pole at Suzuka, his pole positions at Japan were both at Fuji, he never got a pole at Suzuka, one of the very few circuits where he never got a pole or maybe the only one, does anyone have this information more accurate? |

I'm very curious to see how these cars will behave at Suzuka with so much downforce and the wider tires, Suzuka will be probably one of the tracks where the lap times will improve the most and the G Force will be more increased, thanks to the circuit layout, the high speed corners, the long radius in some of them. The Snake sector will be fantastic to watch! I wonder if times could drop to high 1:26 this year! |

Amazing post @ Lucasjeha, appreciate your dedication and contagious enthusiasm for this race. Yes, a real F1 circuit, narrow, treacherous, old-school. Real refreshing after Sepang where cars look like miniatures from overhead shots, and where all sense of speed was swallowed by the amount of tarmac and run-off around the track. The 2014 showdown chase between Lewis and Nico in the rain was exhilarating for those very reasons (until the fateful ending :-/). Can't wait to see the 2017 cars around this track. |

Yes the laptime is quicker but I won't see the 5 or 10 kph difference through the esses. And of course it will result in an awful race with all this downforce. |

I love Suzuka; it's one of my favourite circuits on the calendar. Watching the cars in qualifying will be great, with high speed corners and narrow sections. But sadly, the current aero regs will likely result in a race where even getting into DRS range is impossible. |

Every year I count the days to this event, Suzuka is my favorite track, I absolutelly love the whole atmosephere of the event! Hopefully we will have a good showdown this year! |

Yeah, the aero dependance will be a problem in the race, it's sad that overtakes are so rare and always needing DRS assist, anyway I'll surely enjoy the practice and qualifying there, onboard shots will be amazing! |
