2017 Japanese Grand Prix - Suzuka, 6-8 October

The engine cover is off Vettel's car on the grid.

Not again surely?

Apparently a spark plug issue. They believe they have fixed it.

Many Mercedes people (Niki, Toto etc) are concerned about the much higher temperatures... as reported by AMuS after FP1&2, the tires on the Mercedes heat up significantly into T7 and take a while to stabilize again.

But yeah, you are right... Hamilton has always been extremely strong on race pace here...

Has Vettel's spark plug gone again?

I didn't know Ferrari was making a hommage to Japan by using a Honda PU. Interesting.
