Should be a cracker. Suzuka's a proper circuit, not like Singapore. Anyway, whilst it's hard to call between them I think one of the Mercedes drivers will get the win. Vettel's got a good history on the track but I think the Williams will be better suited.

Winner: Nico Rosberg
Second: Lewis Hamilton
Third: Valtteri Bottas
Fourth: Sebastian Vettel
Fifth: Fernando Alonso
Sixth: Daniel Ricciardo
Seventh: Felipe Massa
Eighth: Kimi Raikkonen
Ninth: Nico Hulkenberg
Tenth: Sergio Perez
Pole: Nico Rosberg

:D I think Thaddeus is right about Suzuka being a proper circuit! I just think the order of the Mercs will be different: 8)
1. Lewis will continue to bedevil Nico and increase his championship lead :up: :up:
2. Nico, reacting to Singapore, will drive too carefully to win :oops:
3. following at some distance, never threatening the Mercs, will be Daniel Ricciardo showing once again how much he likes the RBR :P
4. Alonso will, once again, perform miracles on the race course and keep Ferrari in the points race (they should give him double salary for every race he places in the top five! :cheers: )
5. Vettel will also be in the top five now that he has a better feel for the RB; he may get even higher if anything happens to one of the mercs or to fernando :roll:
6. Felipe Massa will get some points, but the Wms machine is at the end of its development and will steadily fall behind the larger budgets :cry:
7. Bottas ditto the above :cry:
8.Jenson Button may well place ahead of the Wms but he'll be in the bottom five (I just find it hard to care about McLaren these days. Corporate $ is more important than winning! :cry: :cry: )
9. magnusson ditto the above (:cry: :cry: :cry:)
10. probably Raikkonen. I hope he surprises me, but I don't think he will
:evil:

Pole will go to Hamilton and deservedly. The Merc team is what McLaren and Ferrari USED TO BE: a first rate racing organization. Only RBR is in their class. And Formula 1 is getting closer and closer to professional wrestling. :evil: :evil:

hope the typhoon stays away! :shock: :shock:
My Racing Gods: Fangio, Vukovich; Senna & Mears --all racers all the time; graceful winners & generous in defeat, but never giving up!!
