Bottom post of the previous page:

It will be a sad saturday without anything on track. We could kill the time with the great japanese band T-square who are racing enthusiast as they called a song grand prix and have composed the original soundtrack for gran turismo videogame moon over the castle

Max spends time with Sato at the Honda Tachigi test track, drives the 1965 Honda RA272 F1 car with which Honda had its first GP win (Ginther Mexico 1965).
Funny to see him, no belts, no HANS and his head about a foot above the roll cage. What a beautiful sounding car..... a 1,5 litre V12 capable of revving to 14,000 rpm!

Kids these days. Honestly, I don't consider myself to be Ron Dennis level (Close, but not quite), and this would have made my blood boil.

You're in another country, a culture that has huge cultural values, and you're acting like some spoilt american?

Ron would turn in his grave, lol.

Ron would turn in his grave, lol.

He is not dead.

He is not dead.

He'd turn in his bed.

I'm not sure I understand the anger? I've seen plenty of people do that at bowling alleys and given how many people were there with camera phones ready, I'd say it was probably setup as one of those edgy instashit viral things. I didn't have the volume on though, so was something said that made it seem like they were acting up?

[DoubleFart]

I just think it's pathetic, whether it's for Insta or not. It's childish behaviour that I would expect from the local scumbags on a rough council estate, now what I would expect from ambassadors for a formula 1 team.

Blue skies now in Suzuka if you look at the circuit webcam real time video loop!

Qualy underway and a red flag already as Kubica crashes.

[Everso Biggyballies]

red flags again, as Magnussen is in the wall. lightly further back than where Kubica crashed. Apparently replays show that the Dane caught a gust of wind through the Casio Triangle, and spun into Turn 18.

[Everso Biggyballies]

KMag got back to the pits but it was still a red.... he is trying to get back out but surely if you cause a red it is day over?

[Everso Biggyballies]

Out in Q1 Danny Ric, Perez Kubica KMag Russell

[Everso Biggyballies]

Perez and Ricciardo made mistakes in the first sector and that cost them a place in Q2.

Gusting wind seems to be causing issues as Q2 gets underway.
