2014 Japanese Grand Prix - Suzuka

RB are nowhere. Not sure what's going on there.

Can't call it for pole, but I think Hamilton will have a good chance of leading into the first corner tomorrow if he is 1st or 2nd. He generally gets better starts than Rosberg (bar issues)

Unless Rosberg does a Vettel-2011 esque chop.

Christian just confirmed to Crofty that it's because of the wet setup.

He could do, although I don't think he would. If they collide and both go out, it just takes Lewis closer to the title.

Great lap by Rosberg, not sure if the crash hurt Hamilton this morning. Fantastic laps by the williams as well, I love seeing them do well.

First corner could be very interesting tomorrow!

Everyone will have a wet setup. Not just Red Bull. So i dont see this as an excuse.

Probably some extreme wet setup going on, not sure how could they perform this bad otherwise.


Great showing by Rosberg.

Also Bottas for getting so "close" to the Mercs.

[MercedesAMGSpy]

Lewis not even close, he has to deliver tomorrow. Rosberg strong.

[Montyinct]

Could it be that Hamilton chose wet race set up more than Rosberg, he looked quiet relaxed in the press conference. Also it was very close between them up until q3

The onboard with Nico was super smooth, very good lap.

Unless they start behind the safety car

I think Hamilton is faster on the slower tyre as well on the long runs. Although whether any part of the race is dry is yet to be seen!

[Shrieker]

I don't think Hamilton's on any wetter setup than Rosberg, if the speed trap figures are anything to go by, they were 310 for Ros and 312 for Ham in q2. F1.com 's speed trap figures show an identical 312.5 km/h. It's baffling seeing Rosberg beat Hamilton here after Spa as well. And both times the margin was around 0.2 secs which is impressive. Nico is 8-6 ahead in terms of poles, who'd have thought...

But I think the biggest news this weekend at the Japanese Grand Prix:

Mansell's moustache is back!!!!
