Fuji - Which team is it going to favor?

[CaptainRaiden]

As we have seen in the last three races, the momentum can swing either ways between Mclaren and Ferrari depending upon the track and their aerodynamic setup. It seems Ferrari don't have any answer to Mclaren's low downforce setup, whereas Mclaren seems to struggle on medium to fast speed tracks where Ferrari have been dominating this year.

Here is the circuit diagram for Fuji: http://www.formula1.com/races/in_det...t_diagram.html

Now, since Fuji is a brand new track for most of the drivers and teams, what do you think is going to be the outcome? I think this track again could favor ferrari, but I'm not too sure.

Well turn 3 and the 100R are the only medium-high speed corners on the circuit, and they're the type of corners that seem to suit Ferrari...

My bet is on McLaren. Hope I'm wrong though.

ITV tv reckoned ferrari as they have the longer wheelbase for all three gps.....

300R?

It's going to be an interesting race.

You have a main straight that is practically a mile long followed by a killer on the brakes. Could possibly see some ducking and diving here.

Rain could be a factor as well.

The trick with Fuji is how much time do you compromise on the corners for the opportunity to slip on the straight. The fastest lapping car here may not be the fastest race car.

I suspect that it will favour the Ferrari especially with Bridgestones experience of the track but not by much.

Watch out for Mclaren and Lewis Hamilton for the victory.

Why do you guess Mclaren? illuminate please

Ferrari...... Massa will run interference for the final 3 races, Kimi wins all 3 and the title in the process by virtue of Massa finishing 2nd in all 3

This is what i pray for each night before going to sleep........

Brundle said he thinks that Japan and China should suit the Reds with Brazil a toss-up.

I think he could have a point. The track from Turn 2 right through to Turn 10 looks pretty quick. The rest of the lap looks like the sort of low-speed Mickey Mouse rubbish that drivers and fans alike hate.

So I'm going for advantage Reds.....just.
