[Hornet]

Good day everyone.


@LeeMcKenzieTV 27m
Official F1 weather say heavy rain for race probably lots of safety cars. Gale force winds later and disruption getting to Russia this week.

Saw this on worst case scenario, what happens if the race got called off.

@andrewbensonf1 6m
Rules on races being called off: need to do two laps (even behind safety car) for half points; 75% distance (40 laps here) for full points

Lets hope the rain will actually ease off for a race

[stefa]

Good morning everyone.
What's the weather like in Suzuka?

[stefa]

Good morning everyone.
What's the weather like in Suzuka?

Just turned TV on. Suzuka weather update. Gray, windy, rain. Not heavy, just rain.

[KurtC]

let's hope we don't get SC red flags and hours of delay...

[stefa]

let's hope we don't get SC red flags and hours of delay...

For the time being it doesn't like like that kind of rain. But who knows what might can happen later?

[Hornet]

Hopefully we go racing. We've seen races in worse condition than this.

[stefa]

Hopefully we go racing. We've seen races in worse condition than this.

Spain 1996. Bring some good memories back...

[kinkas]

[Hornet]

[Scuderia85]

wet wet wet

[Hornet]

Did they say starting with SC?

[stefa]

Did they say starting with SC?

It would be pity to do that. Track conditions are more than OK.

[elnano98]

Charlie Whiting just told : If weather reports are correct, there will be no race today. More and more rain expected. Too dangerous.

[Hornet]

Agrh... looks like the rain has came down again :furious

[Kingdom Hearts]

good luck!!!

[stefa]

Start behind SC :-(

[elnano98]

Start behind SC

[stefa]

It is raining!

[Ed Harley]

F1 race in that weather is IMHO pretty much a joke.

[Scuderia85]

boring

[Hornet]

Shame, looks like we won't be racing for awhile.

Anyway best of luck. Hopefully we'll get some racing

[stefa]

F1 race in that weather is IMHO pretty much a joke.

Yes!

[tifosi1993]

[stefa]

Now it is raining heavy

[Greig]

Doubt we will see any real racing today.

[stefa]

Doubt we will see any real racing today.

[wacc]

Good luck Ferrari! :ferrarifl

[Katu]

[elnano98]

Red Flag

[Katu]

[Hornet]

Looks like they should have moved the race to morning. Wonder why they did not went ahead with that plan

[brava]

Doesn't look that bad

[Katu]

Scuderia Ferrari ‏@InsideFerrari 5m5 minutes ago
#FerrariJPNGP Ten minutes wait at least...will Kimi go for an icecream?

:Hmm

[wacc]

Looks like they should have moved the race to morning. Wonder why they did not went ahead with that plan

Because that would be too early for TV viewers in Europe. Money, money, money...
But they could have moved it to the same time as Q.

[Katu]

https://twitter.com/DidPastorCrash

:Hmm
hahaaaa i started following the last one

[Hornet]

Looks like they are going out again. Hopefully that will dry the track up

[Greig]

Might get some racing then :-)

[Greig]

grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

[elnano98]

Damn

[stefa]

Can't believe

[wacc]

one car less to worry about... :-??

[fratelliferrari]

Noooo :-(

[Katu]

what happened to Fernando?

[TonyRizza]

Just great... Might just go back to bed

[Rishu]

Don't think he spun

[stefa]

These new PU's are like Windows. You just get not responding and that's it!

[stefa]

Don't think he spun

Didn't. PU just died!

[Katu]

These new PU's are like Windows. You just get not responding and that's it!

bahahahaaaa that's a good one

[sachin]

Wow,woke up early for this.:-(

[Katu]

well i cheer for Rosberg now, he's gotta win the WDC this season. nothing else is much interesting really

[DIEK]

:furious

[sachin]

Where has Ferrari's reliability gone?

[Alfa159]

Car is rubbish ...always has been this year.

[stefa]

What are they waiting for?!?!?!?

[Greig]

Should be racing now....

[LivingHitokiri]

What the hell happen to Fernando ......

[Rishu]

C'mon start the race now

[wacc]

Too much software and electronics. It just shuts down and that's it.

[Katu]

What the hell happen to Fernando ......

well like some said before about Fernando - Ferrari wants to keep Kimi happy and show he can score better points, so they screw Fernando, who'll go anyway

[stefa]

Should be racing now....

Should be...

[wacc]

They are waiting for the rain to become heavier.

[Greig]

well like some said before about Fernando - Ferrari wants to keep Kimi happy and show he can score better points, so they screw Fernando, who'll go anyway

Erm what?

[bonzo]

Car is rubbish ...always has been this year.

This year?? It has been so since 6 years:furious

[sachin]

Inters time already?

[stefa]

cmon!!!!!!!!!!!

[Katu]

Erm what?

how many times have i read this season about conspiracy that Ferrari is giving Kimi worse car and worse strategy to keep Fernando happy.

[LivingHitokiri]

well like some said before about Fernando - Ferrari wants to keep Kimi happy and show he can score better points, so they screw Fernando, who'll go anyway

lol what ?
I have missed some news lately but since when Fernando is leaving us ?

[stefa]

They are waiting for the rain to become heavier.

:thumb

[Greig]

how many times have i read this season about conspiracy that Ferrari is giving Kimi worse car and worse strategy to keep Fernando happy.

I dunno?

[wacc]

well like some said before about Fernando - Ferrari wants to keep Kimi happy and show he can score better points, so they screw Fernando, who'll go anyway

Ferrari want to win a race first of all. I do not believe they would mess with the car on purpose.

[sachin]

They are waiting for the rain to become heavier.

:rotfl

[TonyRizza]

Just give them a steering wheel with no buttons and v12 s

[stefa]

I understand safety issues, but this new formula is.........

[Katu]

i was just joking

[tifosi1993]

well like some said before about Fernando - Ferrari wants to keep Kimi happy and show he can score better points, so they screw Fernando, who'll go anyway

Yeah lets ignore the fact that he had the best reliability of the grid.

[bonzo]

Ferrari want to win a race first of all. I do not believe they would mess with the car on purpose.
Well, they have messed the car since the design board:furious

[Greig]

Well, they have messed the car since the design board:furious

Get over it.

[DIEK]

The extreme wet tires are only for go behind the safety car?

[stefa]

What is purpose of WET tires? To be used behind SC only?

[TonyRizza]

Hopefully Hamilton sticks it in the wall

[Scuderia85]

come on now

[stefa]

The extreme wet tires are only for go behind the safety car?

At the same time :-)

[Rishu]

Charlie trolling Lewis

[killer]

Drivers are good with track. Let's go racing. Come on.

[Scuderia85]

Mclarens ECU is ....

[fratelliferrari]

Finally...

[Rishu]

At last

[Katu]

at last!

[sachin]

Basically FIA just dont want racing on wet tyres i guess, always want inters only:furious

[tifosi1993]

Let them race

*TSN MODs*

Please no swearing, if feel need to swearing filter/star out, that also includes abbreviating aswell.

[wacc]

It will not take long till the SC is out again. Someone will just crash.

[killer]

Motor racing!

[Rishu]

Box Kimi. Time for inters

[sachin]

Bianchi in 3rd...wow

[Katu]

Bianchi 3rd, we should get him!

[DJTaurus]

Those mercs are bloody fast.....,

[stefa]

What a smart move from JB

[wacc]

Hulkenberg overtook Kimi.

[sachin]

Those mercs are bloody fast.....,

There should be a limit on how fast a car can go w.r.t to the field.:-D

[sachin]

Our to be driver is overtaking ;)

[killer]

How good are these guys? Wow.

[stefa]

Such a shame we can not get DR

[Rishu]

DR is good

[DJTaurus]

Our to be driver is overtaking ;)

Nothing great to see here. Heidi just took the risk and massa opened his line to avoid the crash. If you watched RIC's overtake and the way he pushed him during the lap it was miles better and clever. :)

[Winter]

How Button always gets it right?

[Katu]

DR move looked so easy

[DJTaurus]

Heidi doesn't even have Rics balls to overtake from the outside.....

[sachin]

Nothing great to see here. Heidi just took the risk and massa opened his line to avoid the crash. If you watched RIC's overtake and the way he pushed him during the lap it was miles better and clever. :)

Yes,was just trying to convince myself that our new recruit is some good.:roll

[Greig]

Nothing great to see here. Heidi just took the risk and massa opened his line to avoid the crash. If you watched RIC's overtake and the way he pushed him during the lap it was miles better and clever. :)

Neither looked all that amazing, they simply have way more grip than Williams.

[stefa]

KR is just doing nothing!

[wacc]

Hulk much faster than both Williams, Kimi also a bit faster than them.

[Winter]

Very nice Vettel ;)

[Katu]

KR is just doing nothing!

why would he - to buy out his contract too would cost too much for Ferrari....

[killer]

We're falling back relative to Hulkenberg. Tsk.

[Katu]

Fernando Alonso ‏@alo_oficial 50s50 seconds ago
Despite the electrical problem, the weekend has been the best so far for performance, so we will keep trying!

so it was electrical problem

[wacc]

Heidi doesn't even have Rics balls to overtake from the outside.....

Well, he overtook Bottas from the outside in the hairpin.

[stefa]

wet races used to be interesting... this one... boring!

[Winter]

KR is just doing nothing!

Only RedBulls can go off racing line in these conditions..

[Winter]

Wow that RedBull downforce!!

[DJTaurus]

Neither looked all that amazing, they simply have way more grip than Williams.

I think braking late safely in a turn is a lot easier than pushing from the outside and climbing over the wet kerbs. Heidi didn't even try to push where RIC made the overtake. No wonder why Heidi aka auto pilot driver is n2 in red bull this year. He is just that mediocre and rarely praised among drivers like Hamilton or Alonso.

[stefa]

11.1 sec

[TonyRizza]

Just retire Kimi, what's the point

[wacc]

Great weekend for us :-s

[Rob]

Wow that RedBull downforce!!

had it all year, its their strenght, nothing new, just the conditions playing for them.

[sachin]

Wth is on the pits,everyone looks so kinda lazy :-??

[Greig]

Well you have a few months or until he is confirmed to get over it :-)

[TonyRizza]

Alonso out, Kimi will get 0points, Hamilton is going to get nico...worst race all year

[sachin]

Looks ros wont be a wdc afterall.

[sachin]

Come on lewis retire...

[Katu]

oh crap

[Rishu]

Well done Lewis

[TonyRizza]

Back to bed now wasn't worth waking up for

[sachin]

:-(

[Rob]

team orders for Nico, hasnt been allowed to pit.

[DJTaurus]

Well you have a few months or until he is confirmed to get over it :-)

No worries mate I would not support that screemer schoolkid. Different story from Alonso and schumi. That boy has no class. A typical two face persona. Hamilton and Alonso where always the bad boys and never tried to be the nice guys or political correct like Heidi.

[Rishu]

team orders for Nico, hasnt been allowed to pit.

I doubt he asked to pit

[wacc]

Now vettel will be flying.

[fratelliferrari]

Booooring race

[hogo]

Alonso out, Kimi will get 0points, Hamilton is going to get nico...worst race all year

I think we have seen couple of races like that already :(. And I would label this year as "worst in many years".

[Rishu]

I wonder if Alonso was still in the race, maybe we would have been fight for P5 or P6

[sachin]

Nico should beat lewis in abu dhabhi,would be a treat.
Is Kimi still racing:roll
Not even getting any tv coverage...

[Rob]

I doubt he asked to pit

been complaining of oversteer for few laps now. Indicating they are losing grip.

[Rishu]

been complaining of oversteer for few laps now. Indicating they are losing grip.

Yes but he is still out on track, I doubt they were team orders

[Rob]

I wonder if Alonso was still in the race, maybe we would have been fight for P5 or P6

be in 6th, RBR to quick in these conditions, and Button would be handful to keep behind.

[wacc]

Kimi high 1:56 on the level of both Lotuses.

[Katu]

Scuderia Ferrari ‏@InsideFerrari 1m1 minute ago
#FerrariJPNGP #Kimi ran wide on turn 13 but rejoined the track immediatley. he's so far behind we do not even see that

[Katu]

Kimi's gonna get lapped soon

[sachin]

Retire kimi rather than such embarrassment

[andone89]

Ferrari with out Alonso is nowhere

[sachin]

How do drivers come to know when the driver ahead is harvesting energy with the tail light always glowing?

[sachin]

Ferrari with out Alonso is nowhere

Thats bitter fact atleast as of today.

[wacc]

Kimi finally with some decent lap time after his 4th pit stop.

[sachin]

WCC fight with williams gone now...

[Alonso14]

Kimi has been absolutely anonymous. :(

I really hope the 2015 car is great. I've been putting up with a mediocre car for 6 years now, I can't take it if in 2015 I'll have to put up with 2 mediocre drivers and a bad car :(

[scuderia_nano]

Its Ok.

We are getting drivers who depend on us. Not vice versa.

[stefa]

WCC fight with williams gone now...

4th for sure

[scuderia_nano]

Kimi has been absolutely anonymous. :(

I really hope the 2015 car is great. I've been putting up with a mediocre car for 6 years now, I can't take it if in 2015 I'll have to put up with 2 mediocre drivers and a bad car :(


Our car would be average for 2015 and 2016. Hence Alonso is leaving. His last 2-3 years shouldn't suck. Meanwhile Ferrari will win again.

[killer]

Out of the points still and 3 seconds to Maldonado. What a race for us so far.:-(

[stefa]

KR lapped!?!?!?

[bonzo]

Time for full wets? Ferrari should risk it with kimi

[wacc]

Kimi was lapped.

[Alonso14]

Our car would be average for 2015 and 2016. Hence Alonso is leaving. His last 2-3 years shouldn't suck. Meanwhile Ferrari will win again.

Alonso has been pretty unlucky in his career. I really hope that him leaving us would somehow mean that our 2015 is great.

PS: Sorry, Nando :D

[wacc]

SC till the finish line

[Katu]

hope that sutil is okay

[bonzo]

Button again most clever!!

[sachin]

This race reminds korea 2010 but no Alonso so its not that good:lou

[bonzo]

Button is the only front runner on full wets

[stefa]

this is stupid and boring

[wacc]

Many cars pitting but the race will not be green flagged again it looks.

[scuderia_nano]

Alonso has been pretty unlucky in his career. I really hope that him leaving us would somehow mean that our 2015 is great.

PS: Sorry, Nando :D
Sure. :p

[stefa]

it is more simple to just stop the race right now, than to drive behind SC till the end!?!?

[Greig]

this is stupid and boring

Have some respect

[scuderia_nano]

I don't know why we can't sign Hulk and/or Jules

[Greig]

This is not good

[Scuderia85]

no pics is not a good sign

[wacc]

bianchi had accident?

[stefa]

Have some respect

I do have. Boring!!!!

[elnano98]

Red Flag

[Alonso14]

[Katu]

Cant see Bianchi on tv ??

[stefa]

marussia twetter is too quiet. hope jules is okay

[Greig]

Best you log off right now, or I will do it for you.

A driver or marshall could be dying right now, have some respect.

[Rishu]

What's up with Bianchi?

[Katu]

where he had accident?
where sutil did

[Scuderia85]

he is buried in the tyre wall ther sutil had his accident

[Greig]

Race will not be resumed.

[stefa]

[wacc]

Bianchi had an accident in 130R?

[elnano98]

Race will not be resumed

[stefa]

he is buried in the tyre wall ther sutil had his accident

[stefa]

he is buried in the tyre wall ther sutil had his accident

[tifosi1993]

Hope all is ok

[sachin]

Something serious went wrong and not shown on tv:Hmm

[DJTaurus]

Someone tell Rosberg to stop waiving his hands.

[wacc]

No word yet on @Jules_Bianchi‘s condition. Believed he hit a recovery vehicle mopping up Sutil’s accident #F1 #JapaneseGP

[Hornet]

Shame we finish without any point.

But more importantly, I'm worried about what happened at 130R, this lack of news or footage is worrying. I hope everything is ok, but it doesn't look good

[Winter]

Bianchi :pray

[tifosi1993]

Bianchi taken to the medical centre

[bonzo]

Bianchi crashed in the heavy fork lift truck carrying off the vehicle

[Katu]

this is so worrying. i really hope he is as okay as possible

[stefa]

Best you log off right now, or I will do it for you.

A driver or marshall could be dying right now, have some respect.

Cool! Didn't know what is happening!

[Alesi1]

Treactors should not be on the track when cars are, when will we learn. Fingers crossed, hope you are ok Jules.

[DIEK]

Vettel podium? This is one of the worst races I've seen, I'm go to bed.

[sachin]

I hope there is no podium ceremony

[stefa]

Bianchi crashed in the heavy fork lift truck carrying off the vehicle

uffff

[fratelliferrari]

No word yet on @Jules_Bianchi‘s condition. Believed he hit a recovery vehicle mopping up Sutil’s accident #F1 #JapaneseGP

Oh no! Please let Jules be ok :pray

[diesel08]

Another great race for us! Kimi -P12, that's our level!

[Rob]

this isnt good.

thats all you worried about?

[DJTaurus]

Hamilton the hair master complex :P

[stefa]

Hamilton the hair master complex :P

[bonzo]

Sutil said Jules hit the tractor with his side

[bonzo]

Ceremony goes ahead meaning Jules is ok hopefully

[Hornet]

Bianchi to medical center. Please let everything be ok :pray

[tifosi1993]

This is not looking good....

Breaking: medical helicopter preparing to take off #JapaneseGP

Does not sound good. Hopefully Jules is ok

[Katu]

Ceremony goes ahead meaning Jules is ok hopefully

they cannot skip ceremony, i wouldn't read too much out of it

[wacc]

The results are not that important this time.
All hopes are just Jules be OK. :pray

[bonzo]

They are booing Seb

[elnano98]

Pray for Jules :pray

[tifosi1993]

Bianchi is unconscious, according to the FIA

[DJTaurus]

Vettel get the boos also in Japan. Welcome to Ferrari.

[bonzo]

Funny how I just said "Seb" instead of "finger boy":Hmm

[Rob]

I deleted pictures of the accident as it disrepectful, until we know the news.

[Alesi1]

This is deplorable, why the hell are the doing intervews

[wacc]

Helicopter could not take off. Jules was taken by road ambulance.

[bonzo]

I deleted pictures of the accident as it disrepectful, until we know the news.

Weii done Rob

[Hornet]

Bianchi was unconscious, they had to use ambulance because the helicopter could not fly at this condition
:-(

[diesel08]

thats all you worried about?
If you are satisfy with this it's okay. I am not.

[stefa]

Bianchi was unconscious, they had to use ambulance because the helicopter could not fly at this condition
:-(

that is bad

[Rob]

thats all you worried about?
If you are satisfy with this it's okay. I am not.

well, shows you care for the safety of other drivers.

[Suzie]

thats all you worried about?
If you are satisfy with this it's okay. I am not.

Why care about the result? Don't be a moron.

[aroutis]

thats all you worried about?
If you are satisfy with this it's okay. I am not.

At this point I could not give a flying .... about this race.

There is someone that is unconscious, we don't know if he's alive or not.

At this point that should be what we should be thinking of. Not if we make into the points or not.
