Typhoon poses threat to Japanese Grand Prix

 

A typhoon over the Pacific Ocean has the potential to turn Sunday's grand prix into a washout if its path continues towards Japan.

Typhoon Phanfone is forecasted to pass south of Suzuka although the rain bands on its northern edge could affect Sunday's race by causing heavy rain and high winds. The FIA is monitoring the weather system ahead of the weekend but there is no precedent for a race cancelled due to weather.

any comments to the supposed alonso-mclaren deal? i think there is a quite a mclaren bias here in the forums and alonso seems to be rated extremely high as well, just looking at the polls from latest years.

 

i think it's awesome news if true, and it seems to happen. all i can say is welcome home nando!

It'd be amazing to see Alonso back at Mclaren, I'd be surprised too. Alonso seems to be denying the discussion at the moment though.

 

I just wish for this weekend Kamui was in a competent car so we could see a repeat of 2012. There really is something special about the whole crowd chanting your name when you're stood on the podium.

:woot:  so redbull officially confirmed that vettel leaves them, and they will replace him with kvyat ... that means, and i don't expect any mercedes driver to leave that dominant car, that alonso basically can just go to mclaren-honda. :D

hm there is this rumor in the autosport forums now that mercedes won't renew with hamilton after 2015, so alo might sit out next year and then join mercedes. but i am very sceptical about this. opinions can change quickly and maybe mercedes will think differently in 2015. i'd rather see and hope alonso will join mclaren honda.

Jean-Eric Vergne has become the second driver this weekend to collect a grid penalty for an engine change.

 
Vergne joins Pastor Maldonado in receiving a ten-place grid penalty having moved onto his sixth different internal combustion engine.
 
Team mate Daniil Kvyat had the same penalty at Monza. All three are Renault engine users.
 
Vergne, who had qualified 11th, will now start 21st alongside Maldonado on the back row of the grid.
 
It is the latest in a series of setbacks for Vergne this weekend. ?I didn?t drive FP1, I had two technical issues in FP2 which shortened my running time, I could complete only 3 laps in FP3 this morning,? he said.
 
?The race is tomorrow and anything can happen, even starting from the back of the grid,? he added.

Red flag after two laps behind the safety car (just to award half points, as per FIA rules); I highly doubt we're getting a race today.

Terrible end to a terrible race.

 

nothing more to say. for years i said that f1 should do what indycar does and only race in the dry. these cars are not made to race in the wet, simple as that.

hope bianchi makes it through.

Thoughts are with Bianchi, but to say F1 shouldn't race in the wet is simply stupid.,

Agreed. However, I think the safety car should've been deployed the second Sutil's car hit the tyre barrier. It's an obvious run off area that is going to be used when it's wet like that.

I don't think they should race in the dry either. Too many accidents occur that way. The cars are simply not made to race in the dry. /s

 

Seriously though, that's a dumb comment. Accidents occur whether wet or dry, day or night. It happens and when it happens, we can't always just ban or stop doing it. Motorsport (in fact, all sports) is full of risks and the drivers, teams, spectators are fully aware of this, take the necessary precautions but sometimes, someone gets unlucky.

that's utter nonsense and you know it. in the dry the tires are right, the brake temperatures are fine, the tire temperatures are fine, ride hight is save, and so on. and ofc you see much better and you can react way faster.

This topic is now closed to further replies.

    • U.S. delegation throws away all burner phones and gifts from China before takeoff

      See up until a few years ago y'all could get away with simply denying your war crimes, pretending it never happened. Unfortunately for you, it's the 2020s and Israel's genocide has been livestreamed in real time. You have to be dumber than a rock to think anyone still believes your propaganda. See the cat is already out of the bag. The world already knows who you are so do yourself a favor and just drop the facade. Bet it gets real tiring keep track of all the lies. Take some inspiration from Israeli ministers who boast on live TV they like massacring civilians. Every accusation is after all a confession.
    • Microsoft making much needed change to Windows 11, 10 Patch Tuesday security updates

      By QuantumBigfoot · Posted

      He's just reporting what Microsoft posted. https://msmessagecenter.com/MC1381119 It just means that Windows Defender updates will no longer be bundled into the monthly Cumulative Windows security update and will now be a separate download. They'll still be on Microsoft update of course but now they can be released faster.
    • Apple announces iOS 27 with no changes to the list of supported iPhones

      Apple announces iOS 27 with no changes to the list of supported iPhones by Taras Buria At WWDC 2026 in Cupertino, Apple announced iOS 27, the next mobile operating system for compatible iPhones. The update focuses on tweaking and improving last year's iOS 26, particularly in areas like app launch time, Liquid Glass design, and more. Additionally, Apple has reworked Apple Maps with a significantly enhanced Flyover view for a much more realistic view. Apple also promises better performance, smarter search, new Health features, new parental controls, and more. The most important part is that iOS 27 is compatible with all iPhones that can run iOS 26. That means that even the seven-year-old iPhone 11 can run iOS 27 (supposedly better than iOS 26). iOS 27 will be available this Fall, with the first developer betas expected later today. You can follow the live stream here.
