Re: Your favourite Japanese Grand Prix
Lets be honest... The answer is 2005. It's possible the best F1 race of all time. That aside a thoroughly enjoyed 2007. Absolutely loads happened and it was crucial for the title. 1994 would round out my top 3. A great battle (via the timing screen) between Hill and Schumacher for the win and possi...

Re: 2024 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix Race Thread
I think an extra few SC's a season would be well worth not having to endure concrete run offs. I don't even believe there's a need for bringing out the SC simply because there's a car in a gravel trap somewhere. It's off the track, and therefore not in a dangerous place.

Your favourite Japanese Grand Prix
The Japanese Grand Prix was a championship deciding race for many years before gradually moving slightly earlier in the season as the calendar has grown. This year though, it’s going to be in April. The majority of F1’s Japanese races have been held at Suzuka, but the first two, and two in the 2000s...

Missed that Alonso got a penalty til now. Very confused. Is the art of slowing down in a corner to reduce the car behind’s momentum dead?
