Excited about Suzuka. Hoping for a good show from STR Honda.

Going with Max, because team is switching to Honda engines, and it's getting to the point in the year where the clowns start running amok.

Brian-

Not to change the subject, but are you and Joy going to COTA this year?

Picked Lewis too. He looks imperious in practice

First post in this forum soo... I’ll be attending the race weekend :D

Getting down from Nagoya and back (where my hotel is) was quite the trip, and it’s only Friday! Kinda scared what Sunday is going to be like. Too tired to process and upload pics from the camera at the moment but I’ll get to it eventually.

Lots of Honda supporters of course but lots of locals supporting other teams and drivers as well. I think I saw a couple Marussia shirts lol. JB’s 06 BAR Honda was also on display. They also ran some vintage F1 cars as this was Suzuka’s 30th anniversary, the V[8 10 12]s were ear piercingly loud compared to current engines.

Have a great time and be sure to post pictures as and when you have a moment. And if the camera is on you be sure to give us guys watching on TV a big wave.

I really need to go to an F1 race someday. :(

Nice! Last night, watching the practise on TV, my wife asked if we should go to the Japanese GP sometime soon? Ummm, yeah! :argh: :D
