The safety car made it a little bit more interesting...
some people have said mercedes is still punishing him /shrug makes for an interesting end of season i guess
Christian Horner says they won't do team orders for Ricciardo because they think he has no chance in getting more than 3rd place in the championships -_- watch him lose 3rd place by 3pts
Race organizers are bracing themselves for a rain-disrupted Japanese Grand Prix this weekend as a powerful typhoon closes in.
Heavy rain lashed the Suzuka circuit on Thursday with more wet and windy weather forecast for the weekend as Typhoon Phanfone is predicted to slam into Japan on Monday.
Several drivers have been warned, with Force India’s Sergio Perez telling reporters: “The hurricane might come. If it comes, probably we won’t be able to race.”
Organizers could be forced to tweak the schedule to avoid major disruption, should the typhoon strike the region.
Severe weather conditions are nothing new at the Japanese Grand Prix, and a cancellation remains highly unlikely.
The race has twice been thrown into chaos by extreme weather in the last decade, with torrential rain delaying qualifying until race-day morning in 2004 and 2010.
A wet race could also provide a twist in the title race with Lewis Hamilton leading Mercedes teammate Nico Rosberg by just three points with five races remaining.
It would be awesome watching them race during a major storm!
It's less exciting actually than you would think. A little bit of rain makes things exciting. But a lot of rain creates safety issues and delays. If the rain is too heavy, they red flag it due to standing water.
They'll probably send a SC and lap around til the track dries out :/ IMO they should just let the drivers race, they're the best drivers in the world, let them do what they do best.

lol Laudas interview with Sky after qualifying was hilarious
when asked if Merc was interested in Alonso he straight up said "No!"
and then he explained how Vettel broke the news to Horner. saying Vettel just walked up to Horner in the garage the night before and said "i'm leaving" and that was that.
Lauda said he asked Horner if he was shocked by how Vettel broke the news to him considering their history together and Horner told him "no, that's how Vettel has always been"
sounds like such a cock
also

This typhoon has intensified to winds reaching 150mph (242km/h) and the eye will reach Suzuka at midnight before the GP. Will Buxton was quoted as saying, "we may be qualifying for a race that will not happen."
The race will take place in the midst of a torrential downpour and howling winds that are capable of taking down trees ... Something many inside the sport think will be impossible to do. Going beyond that, this storm is going nowhere fast.
