Bad comparison, whoever made this started Rosberg about 1 sec back, just look at the start.

Lets be honest sponsors greed stopped this race from being ran earlier, its already like a river at the track, they knew this was coming, it aint going to get better. I'm staying up, but it might be in vain....., on the plus side I've a good night out and im slightly drunk, should help the pain.

Since they don't allow running in any kind of significant rain anymore (sigh), it makes even less sense not starting this race earlier, even Saturday. Sigh.

For European races, for the most part they always start at lunchtime (1pm local time). Why is it starting so late in Japan?

Latest pictures from the track show the rain to be easing up a little so the likelihood is for a damp track by the start time. Should be interesting to see if anyone is brave enough for inters!

It starts late so its on at 6 or 7 in the morning instead of 2 or 3 in the morning in Europe, believe it or not 6 is better for viewers.

Just pure downforce that´s missing.
I´d give it 2 years and we´ll start to be very very close to the 13´s in terms of cornering capabilities.
