[GustavoTrunci]

No inclement weather this weekend. The weather should be nice.

What great looking cars we have this season, it'll be a pleasure watching them in bright tropical daylight finally!

Where is this information coming from? I only see two on the map?

DRS activision has been increased to 4 , not detection.

You’ll get 2 drs zone for 1 detection.

Bad idea imo

Melbourne weather race day a possible shower or two.

WWE.

But still, I hope Ferrari would go for the high DF setup here as well. This track has some important traction zones and the weather is a bit unpredictable. Keeping the tyres in the window and taking care of them is quite important here. So high DF is the way to go IMO.

i wish we will fly away even four drs zone and give some dust to max :))

[SS454]

4 DRS zones? This is way out of hand now.

They will use the same configuration as Bahrain

4 DRS zones??!!

[ferrari1.8t]

4 DRS zones??!!

All about the show...F1/Netflix/WWE....

Lets hope we have enough power to stay out of the DRS window.

[FF1]

Hi
I am from NZ and would like to attend the Japan grand Prix this year. Any suggestions on the best seats and what the cost is per ticket and where to book it from ( is it through F1.com or any other website or does the track have their own website to book). I am looking for 2 tickets preferably the main grandstand opposite the pits. Open to all suggestions. Thanks

I like how the guy says RB floor is better, reminds me when people were saying Mercedes’s side pods were a 1 second a lap advantage.

[paolo lalli]

Bring on the DRS zones and watch the ferrari hunt down redbull fear no body and take no prisoners ferrari have built an exceptional fi car and that is a fact.

According to Tom Coronel they managed to lose 7KG on the RB18 for this weekend, even if it was planed for Imola
Any idea how to how much laptime that would translate?

Between 2 tenths and 2.5 tenths

They will be fast, very fast if true

[tpe]

They will be fast because of the 4 DRS zones anyway!
This will give them a huge advantage (provided that Ferrari doesn't have a rear wing that is designed to take (more?) advantage of the DRS) in Qual.
And since we don't know how the new layout will be and how new cars will react to it etc, we can only assume that the one in front will have a huge advantage for the race.

Of course, this is purely speculation, but the way I read this race is RB 1-2, Ferrari 3-4.
Of course, I could be wrong.

We still have a porpoising issue. Let's see IF Ferrari have fixed that issue.

It seems that wont be addressed by this race, the rumours are saying it will be fixed in Spain, but hopefully Ferrari can push the engine a bit for this race to make up the deficit even though they've said otherwise.
