F1 » Japanese GP - combined practice times

It''ll really be good to see FA back in form to provide the spoiler on Sunday. If he''s in the top 4 on Sunday, we''d see a battle royale between him & LH & FM. Fuji is still good for overtaking, so a 3-corner fight all the way to the finishing line could be a thriller, especially if it''s a bit wet.

GO LEWIS!

Looks my prediction about a surge by the middle order is coming true.

This could be irritating for Lewis if it is replicated in any way in the race, but it would be an absolute disaster for Ferrari.

Good work by Timo: he could be the best thing thats ever happened to Toyota. Nice to see Fernando back in the mix - I'll put money on him staying with Renault in 09.

It would be very nice to see yet another winner this seasson..

Is Timo Glock's performance explained by the fact TOYOTA own the Fuji track?
(forgive me if I'm wrong).

@Katy

I imagine it's helping them accelerate getting the right set-up, and Timo is probably very familiar with the track, but I can't see there being room for much more than that. After all, Jarno is 'the one lap specialist' and he ended up 10th on the day in the same car.

Whole field looks pretty close to me, I knwo the weather forecast is benign for Sunday, but a wet quali could really mix things up (like Monza, and look what that gave us).

@katy. i think it fair to say that 'home' track gives you some advantage, glocks car must be alredy honed absolute for best pace, which we have yet to see from the big-hitters as yet!

powerline i agree but lets wait and see if it is a wet qualifying or not it is predicted for saturday
