Bottas won in shortened race due to checkered flag mishandling. Season standings after round 17 Code: DRIVERS Timetables all times are local (GMT+9) Code: FRIDAY 7th OCTOBER Local time back to Japan once again, another match point for Verstappen |

Looks very wet on most models so probably dry. |

Oh how I have missed Suzuka. My favorite circuit by far, and the one that drivers so unanimously love thanks to its high-speed flowing nature. True challenge that punish from mistakes. Typically races here suck, but I couldn't care less. Like Monaco, it's better with an attitude where you don't expect overtaking. For both, qualifying is the main event of the weekend. Sunday has cleared in forecasts. Might not see much running on Friday though. https://www.foreca.com/108394011/Suzuka ... d-forecast |

Glad to see the sun forecast as for the first time since I can remember I'm tired of all these wet races in the series I follow. Max to be crowned champion I reckon. |

Suzuka might not produce the best racing overall but it has one of the best flows overall (compared only to Spa and Interlagos). Onboards and sim experience is quite a delight (and a challenge) |

Chance of rain is still high imo. Hope it's not a washout. |

Every corner up to spoon is annoying for me. |

For me Degner and 130R (both the new and old) are quite a bitch to get it right. Or I go too slow and lose a lot of lap time or I carry too much speed and go off with wet tarmac so is an impossible task |

Hopefully there's some action on Friday. Would suck to wake up at 6 am (I know, it's not bad for us Finns) only to find out they won't come out from the pits. Interestingly FP2 has been extended by 30 minutes to allow Pirelli test their prototype tyres. But looks like only wet tyres can be tested (hopefully they brought some). I think conditions that we had in 2004 are now too extreme for F1. |

funny that 2004 was one of those peculiar seasons that didn't had any wet track racing |

I find the chicane to be the trickiest corner in sims. I usually outbrake myself there in the first handful of laps. Especially because I get progressively quicker through 130R for each lap, too |

Russia 2021 and Turkey 2020 come to mind, but there have been plenty of surprisingly wet GPs in the last couple of years. They also literally cancelled all running on the Saturday in 2004 due to conditions being too extreme. I don't think anybody expected qualifying to restart at Spa last year, but they sent the cars out. I think the bigger problem at the moment is the total lack of consistency from race control about what is 'too wet'. |

it was the height of the Rainkiller 3000, created and developed my Max Mosley to enforce boring racing actually Malaysia had a few drops, Monza start rather wet but dried before lap 5 and Interlagos was quite moist but no rain |

Every corner up to spoon is annoying for me. For me it's the left before the Degners and the first half of Spoon. In both corners I'm either understeering off track or approaching too slowly. |

AM or (late) PM is still unsure. Edit: Friday looking like a washout now, Sunday dry-ish |

What a shockingly rare occurrence I never thought I'd get to see...the wet Pirelli tire actually gets to experience conditions it was designed for. |
