Japanese Grand Prix 2009 - Sebastian Vettel wins it for Red Bull at Suzuka

[bwilloughby23]

FanCastTv.....Love the cast that you post, as it is the only thing that I can rely on sometimes. Keep em coming.....Although I would like to say that if Kimi goes back to mclaren......Ferarri will no longer exist. That would be a dream come true for me as I am an avid Mclaren fan. Mika was my boy. Lewis and Kimi!!!!!!! F1 might have to make new rules about driver pairings if this happens.

[deperer]

It wasn't 60 seconds... more like 53! dear oh dear.. you're decieving your viewers.

[Fredstar88]

lol cocky & arrogant = perfect combo for alonso & ferrari

[nowheelspin]

kimi got fired for his iceness lack of communication with the team . hope to c him go bak to maccla cold feet ? hamilton

I actually enjoyed the race yesterday with Hamilton and Trulli battling for 2nd place. Vettel was a class act at Suzuka pulling away from the rest of the field and Button seem to get the job done despite having problems in qualifying the past few races.

No website this week?

i found the race to be quite enjoyable holding out to see will bring safety cars and so forth in the end a great drive from vettel as he put the wood on ol lewis form lap 1 and the hot lap from webber was just the way to finish a bad weekend i find watching the live timing with live comentary is fun as u watch the sector times fall and ol hobbsy telling the tale

[goedeck1]

I love the commentary on Speed, especially David Hobbs. He's cheeky sometimes XD.

[rockplannet1]

Actually Rosberg was driving too fast... he was driving 4.5 seconds too fast. But the reason he wasn't penalised was because the message telling him to slow down was overrun by a message telling him he had low fuel. To technically he did.... but not his fault

[rockplannet1]

Seriously, there is always someone saying that "this is the most boring race of the season" to every single race. They are the ones who aren't at all interested in F1. This was a fantastic race. It was great to see Jarno get 2nd place and completely own Hamilton. Stupid useless KERS needs to be banned. Fantastic race 8/10

[hell5torm]

he did not completely own hamilton, it was the most boring race of the season, nothing happened, it took atleast half an hour for something to happen then an nother half hour wait then some one made a pass and the race was over! i do not know how u found it exciting? please tell me!

[EmphaticItalic]

I agree with you it was the most boring race of the season, though it was interesting race in terms of the championship. I also think Vettel had a fantastic weekend and I was very impressed.

[EmphaticItalic]

I found the race rather fascinating actually, though I did realise it was a bit of a procession this time. In other words, I say it was "boring", doesn't mean the race wasn't good and enjoyable. IMO Vettel proved once and for all how good he is.

[rockplannet1]

Yeah Vettel proved to be fantastic once again. He's going to be one to watch in the future im sure. & one day we will see him in a mclaren.

I think the most boring race this seaon was Valencia.. one overtake. just one. But this race was more of a strategy race... but it did have some fantastic classic overtakes too... Fisi & Kovi out of pits.. button on one of the BMW's... Kovi & sutil's failure was good... and kubica catching button in the last few laps too.. good race IMO.

Hah you should try being an f1 fan in america. Every race starts at 8 am, the japenese grand prix at midnight is a blessing over here. Agreed though, race was a bit dull. Its hard to keep highly interested in the racing when you know the titles are pretty close to wrapped up, makes me focus on next season. Personally out of all the rumors the one i find most exciting is the possibility of raikkonen returning to mclaren. How exciting would raikkonen and hamilton battling alonso and massa be?

[hell5torm]

are you seriously complaining about getting up at 8 in the morning?

i get up at 2 -3 am to watch the races every race go to bed at 5am, this was great for me bacause the race was in the afternoon!

[tnralliart2600]

Try being an Australian F1 fan. Up until 2007 we couldn't even watch races live (they were always broadcast at 11pm), now we at least see them live but it's still 9.30pm or so. The american races (north and south) are always worse (3am or so). To make matters worse, our TV presenters are hopeless and the networks don't give a sh*t, so our coverage is half-as*ed at best. But I do sympathise. And I'd like to see Raikkonen in a McLaren, so he can destroy Hamilton's reputation!

[FunkadelicMover]

I would also like to see Kimi back in the Mclaren . A strong line-up for next year as Heikki has not been performing.

[didickcheeseburger]

im american on the east coast. the majority of races are at 8am for us but suzuka was at 1am. australia was like 2am or 3am this year. i like watching em live but sometimes my lazy ass just watches the rebroadcasts in the afternoon. brazil is like my only "normal" hour race. i think theyre bringing back canadian gp and hopefully theyll bring back usgp but itd be awesome if they did a street circuit or something

[tnralliart2600]

What makes it worse for us aussies is that when I say 9.30pm or 11pm, that's sunday night, not saturday, so I still have work the next morning. You guys might have to watch our GP in the middle of the night but you've still got a whole sunday ahead at least. And Bernie's latest comments are that he's aiming for a New York street race, so that should be good. Like Phoenix but more popular, lol.

[evidencebasedliving]

i was wondering. ever raced? do u like go karts? have u? do u like racing simulators? i bet u do :)

[ukogmickey]

Well I was in 2 minds to stay up and just play Fifa 10 till it started but I sacked it and hit the sack and set it to record. Got up in mornin and my lecky had gone out half hour into it so watched on BBC site. Im glad I went to bed now coz it was probs the most boring race of the season, Id of fell asleep for deffo if id stayed up to watch, I was falling asleep watching it at 11am never mind early doors. Is any1 sick of the Jenson phrase ? You carnt overtake here " he says that at every track.

[beyblader10171]

lol remember kovalainen overtaking fisi just after the pit lane, xd,

[barneylovesbeagle]

i liked Alonso waiting in the motorhome and telling DC that this day doesnt matter!

[barneylovesbeagle]

it would have been more exciting if your were on my lap! don't mind looking at you comment on a boring race!

[stevejohn01]

I hope Vettel wins the world championship this year, i was all for Button b4 but i think he is a bit of a lucky wet blanket....

[dwg316]

yeah a bit boring but hey!

[stovie560]

im a big jenson fan and would love to see another brit take the title. but i also think rubens deserves the title i recon if rubens wins he might retire it would make sense it would be amazin to retire world champion..

[WatanukiF1]

Well, Vettel still has possibilities for winning the world championship, but his options are limited enough (he should win both remaining races and Button, at most, add two points). I think that the F1 '09 championship's definition will be more scolded between Button and Rubinho.

I am happy for the Trulli's second place, it is a prize for Japan to have a Toyota included inside the podium.

WELCOME BACK SUZUKA!

The next year: KOREAN GRAND PRIX!

[Merkagee]

I agree with the boring race. I want Jenson to win it in Brazil just so I can stop worrying about it!

[kingjimsixsix5]

I would not agree with you on it being a dull race, I was on the edge of my seat willing button to pass Sutil. I do agree Alonso will be a good mix for Ferrari and he wont beat down Massa like he tried to do with Lewis plus Ferrari wont put up with him having any hissy fits like at Mclaren. 5am is too darn early to be getting up but I would not have missed it live.

[evoGage]

The Brawn's was never going to be strong this weekend because of the practice sessions. Now that Vettel is back in the title hint, its going to be a exciting last 2 race showdown. I still think Jenson will win it if he doesn't bin the car. Love todays race, Suzuka is a really nice circuit.
