A bit of J-Pop to get in the mood.

 

 

And food.

Someone's keen. I prefer it when people wait until lap 15 before they create a race thread. If this race is **** and Lewis doesn't win, I'll blame you.

[JeanAlesi27]

I hope to see a battle between Lando and Checo...

 15 laps in?  Never seen that ever here... no idea what you are on about.   Lewis won't win,  guaranteed.

I was exaggerating a little...

Besides, I've changed my mind because Bottas will win. To finish first, first you must start from Finland.
That's also not likely to happen, but I said it. And what?

(Well, strange things have happened in F1 before, like Herbert P1 and Trulli P2 at the Nürburgring in 1999 or the Gasly/Sainz/Stroll podium at Monza in 2020...)

 I'm ALL FOR Bottas winning,   good call!

[GLessard]

I have a strong feeling that Max could win today

[SparkPlug86]

Here for the Lando win...

Kayo puts up the replays fairly quickly so once the season moves out of our time zone you'll enjoy watching the next day too.

 

Finally home from a wedding, very tired, but glad that it's a 3pm race. If it was in Europe I'd be asleep already.

Some random pre-race thoughts, who's the best Japanese driver post 2000s? Kobayashi or Sato or even Nakajima? 

[FNG]

Kobayashi by far

[milestone 11]

Or Kato, Haga, and Abe.

[JL14]

I'll just be hoping for a rocket start by Perez (and Norris and Sainz).

Maybe a Mexico repeat but then with Perez just sticking with it.

[ANF]

Pit stop time loss: 22.0-23.9s, typically 22.6-22.9s.

Head wind on the main straight reported 15 minutes ago.

What you all got against Tsunoda and Ricciardo?

This is good for overtaking.

Albon saying that Hamilton is saving his plank on the straights…

[southernstars]

Albon definitely sounded downbeat about Williams' race chances.

[sportyskells]

And all the doom mongers saying it will rain was way off the mark

[1player]

Lawrence Barretto with that 1950s hair do.

[Frankbullitt]

Hottest it’s been all weekend by the looks of it

[TomNokoe]

Air 23
Track 40

Massive curve ball, warmest it's been all weekend.

McLaren and Mercedes have two sets of Hards, which I think will be an advantage.

[jacdaniel]

Max didn’t sound too confident in the car this weekend. I’m sure he’ll be competitive but not certain he’ll win today.

If the car is more understeery than usual then he Checo could go well here.

[STRFerrari4Ever]

Not expecting much of a race up front but I hope I’m wrong though

[milestone 11]

Expect this first lap to be chaotic

[Ruusperi]

And all the doom mongers saying it will rain was way off the mark

Who said so? All the forecasts showed already on Thursday that the risk of rain on Sunday is 0%.

 

Anyway, hoping for an entertaining race. Suzuka tends to be a bit processional in dry.

[STRFerrari4Ever]

Which car/driver combination will have the winning numbers for the Japanese Pirelli lottery? Find out in 90mins time!

[ANF]

50/50 mix of S and M.

[Lurb]

Alonso says they are out of position, simulations predict 9th and he won't waste time in pointless fights

[BoDarvelle]

Pulling for a 1990 Suzuka start.

[PassWind]

Track temp, someone is going to mess this up.

[Frankbullitt]

Wow these temps are serious

[ARTGP]

I see mediums

[ARTGP]

Mclaren and Mercedes have 2 sets of hards. RB and Ferrari do not.

Alonso is going to throw a spanner in the works with that soft tire. 

Edited by ARTGP, 07 April 2024 - 05:01.

[RPM40]

Surprised more didn't take the soft tyre gamble, pass early then pit early for the undercut

[milestone 11]

Enjoy everyone!

[MortenF1]

So many running the softs!

[RPM40]

Perez 'almost as fast' as Verstappen, so finishing 10s down with no internal challenge.

Deg is going to be so high though, if you don't get the passes done quickly you'll be so dead in the water.
