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.

    • Valve finally confirms Steam Machine prices, starts at $1049 for 512GB option

      By matthiew · Posted

      Huh? You're delusional calling the Steam Deck dead. It is so successful that it has sold out multiple times. Even after the price hike this year it sold out again with 24 hours of being back in stock. The demand is real and has not died down even after four years.
