A proper track which challenges the drivers, and actually punishes them if they go off.  I wasn't up early enough to watch practice, but I'm definitely go to watch it on the iplayer later.  What a wonderful circuit.

And it certainly punished a few this morning. A couple of ice packs on arms but the cars need more than an ice pack. Yeah Irisado, too many tracks have no punishment for a mistake, Suzuka sure ain't one of them.

I really want to put Mark down for the win, but I'm afraid Red Bull will make it another unlucky race for him and Vettel will get Mark's share of the luck. Red Bull wouldn't cheat  for Vettel, would they ?????

[Irisado]

Nope, but they would give Mark an unfavourable strategy .  That's not cheating after all .

If only all those offs had happened during the race.  That would have spiced things up.  Either way though, it was great just watch the cars using a proper circuit, especially as the fuel started to burn off.
