Boring race probably like in the last five, six years.
My guess: Webber gets a bad start, making Vettel fly off in the distance and Hamilton, Raikkonen and Alonso end up fighting for the other two podium positions.
Posted 12 October 2013 - 21:18
I am going to be a crown pessimist, and say Webber and Lewis fall back at the start, and Seb races a typically measured yet dominant performance to.
I think Alonso will be on the Podium of around there, so I doubt the Championship will be fixed tomorrow, India I think will be where Seb gets number 4
Posted 12 October 2013 - 21:20
I am staying up to watch this one. Would be nice to see Webber get a win before he retires, although I think Vettel and Hamilton will have him by T1.
Posted 12 October 2013 - 21:23
if Webbo gets stuck behind Hamilton , Lotus will mug them.. i say Lotus is team to watch
Posted 12 October 2013 - 21:24
HAte duel between VET and WEB, they crash or fail... GRO get beaten again by RAI with the help of the SC, MAS will win after no Mercedes has the race pace to deliver, ALO will crash out against someone in the first lap like last year (again it is RAI)... so enjoy.
Posted 12 October 2013 - 21:27
Grosjean - 1st win
Vettel - no KERS
Massa - all blaze and glory
Hamilton 4th and Rosberg 5th

EXCLUSIVE! Bernie FOM scenario for Round 15 Japan Grand prix leaked!
- Webber P1->P11 before Turn 1
- Hamilton on the radio "Tyres are gone mate" @ lap 5
- Bottas vs Van Der Garde drama part 7
- SC midrace - Riccardo in the wall
- Raikkonen making it up into the podium out of usual nowhere
- Gutierrez in the points... just to be thrown out of them because of post-race penalty.
- Both Force India's and Jenson Button retired due to tyre failures - Pirelli teams FIA shock controversial
- Vettel finishing 40 seconds ahead of everyone asking to play music on the radio in the final laps

Really hoping for a webber win tomorrow. Wouldn't mind seeing a clean fight between him and vettel.
Posted 12 October 2013 - 22:04
At least this won't be another grand chelem for Vettel
Posted 12 October 2013 - 22:20
Webber has a trend of messing up starts so the pessimist in me says Vettel will be P1 way before the first cornerand shall not be seen again until the end of the race.
The optimist in me says Vettel's KERS trouble will continue and he will not grab this win. I'm not ashamed to admit I'd be happy to see that - he's won enough.

Posted 12 October 2013 - 22:34
Anyone think Webber will be super aggressive at the start towards Vettel to the point of crashing?
I think Lotus will be the dark horse in the race.

There is something with Webber starting on pole, he does not mess up his start as much. Law of averages catch up with him for a good start at that point of time.

Expecting Webber to make the usual dismal start, but if he doesn't.. I wonder what plan RBR will use to shuffle him out of the way of golden boy?
Botched pit stop and released into traffic
Posted 12 October 2013 - 23:12
Red Bull doesn't need a strategy to get Vettel past Webber. Just ask them both to drive as fast as they can.
Posted 12 October 2013 - 23:18
Posted 12 October 2013 - 23:23
If Romain can keep it on track then I feel he can be in the mix with the Red Bulls at the end of the race.
Expecting the Mercedes boys to suffer tyre degredation more than their opponents so falling back over the course of the race.
Felipe has a great chance to showcase himself for 2014, Fernando needs one of his electrifying starts to score enough points to take the Drivers Championship to India.
Sauber Nico for good points, likewise Kimi, would be EXTREMELY happy if I was understating these drivers and they BOTH feature on the podium.
Jenson and Sergio scratching for a point or two for McLaren and the Safety Car to make at least 2 appearances on track.
Time to hit the sack soon, a little over 6 hours and 30 minutes till the lights go green and..........................

Webber should have this easily if he gets a good start. Ted said in his notebook that Mark had setup his car with the race in mind not expecting to be starting on pole so he should be very hard to overtake. Fingers crossed.
Posted 13 October 2013 - 00:41
Alonso called for reinforcements

RBR know they need some positive PR, I reakon Seb's been told that unless Mark butchers it to leave him be.
Posted 13 October 2013 - 01:12
really hoping this will be fun
Posted 13 October 2013 - 01:18
Sebastian could DNF in Suzuka, India, Abu Dhabi, USA and Brazil and would still be crowned 4x WDC by the end of the season.
Vettel to lead Webber by the end of Lap 1 and romp away for his 9th victory of the season.
1-2 finish for RBR.
The MGP boys will not a podium.
Grosjean will take the last podium position.
Posted 13 October 2013 - 01:56
Webber to lead 45 laps before his gearbox gives up.
Posted 13 October 2013 - 02:00

Hope in vain. It's all academic really, the only thing anyone wants to know is if Vettel gets booed.
Posted 13 October 2013 - 02:21
Does someone know about Vettels kers? Does he have it and is there somekind of penalty for fixing KERS after qualifying?
Posted 13 October 2013 - 03:00
There is no penalty for Seb to repair his KERS but there is a risk that the problem will return during the race.
Posted 13 October 2013 - 03:12
woohoo (from yesterday)

Would like to see Webber or Grosjean win, but if Vettel has a heathy car, it's probably his.

What was going on in pic #2?
Posted 13 October 2013 - 03:15
I hope Lewis runs real fast. Only thing that can cheer me up after a disappointing race for Hendrick Motorsports.
Posted 13 October 2013 - 03:17

Thanks. So he will start the race with fully working but unreliable KERS system?
Posted 13 October 2013 - 03:25
Up all night for this one. Playing a bit of beer pong with my homeys.

talk shows featuring Nakajima family, Kamui and so on
And demo-run of Tyrrel and Lotus.

They always do sth like this at grand stand in Sat night every year.

My vote goes for Webber and Vettel to do a Suzuka 1989 reenacment.
...and then Todt to do a Balestre decision.
Posted 13 October 2013 - 04:13
Anyone waiting up should be watching Bathurst right now. Warning up nicely.
I'm with ya..

FIA and F1 really sucks, not making the one minute of silence for Maria something official, nice human beings.

I read somewhere that they will today before race start.
Posted 13 October 2013 - 04:43
Drivers and FIA just had a minute's silence for Maria de Villota - in garage to make it semi-private. A nice gesture
A minutes silence for #MariadeVillota as the paddock and drivers remember.

They didn't allow to make it on track and with the official cameras. The only reason why it happen is because De La Rosa pushed for it and they have to do it almost in secret.

It is a long drag race to T1 - 545m long.
Webber will be under pressure to get a perfect start.
