Ferrari has the technical(i.e the turns)side of the track,but Mclaren have the advantage on the full speed(i.e the long straight)side.Its tied,but I think Ferrari will win!

It won't be easy, but Ferrari has a good chance. Kimi has been the most reliable in the last races.

I'm hoping Lewis will win to extend his lead in the Driver's Championship. Since I think Kimi is too far back to catch him, I'm pulling for Lewis now.
Fuji might be a little like Spa but with slower corners so Ferrari might be able to win. Then on the other hand it could be like Indy, long straight with a very slow first part of the third sector. Then that would tend to favor McLaren. So it will be very interesting to see the race at Fuji. Even though I would rather go back to Suzuka.

Lewis will win, followed by Raikkonen and then Massa. Alonso won't be anywhere as his pit crew will forget to put his wheels on and put fuel in his car as it is likely some of them will face redundancy due to McLaren losing £50 million. Then again, Ron Dennis may refuse to allow Alonso to drive and replace him for the last races, as a punishment. Most F1 fans agree that Ron Dennis is a fair man and has the highest reputation. I'd like to see Ron's other side now and see him do as much damage to Alonso as Alonso has done to the team and the sport. As I recall, Alonso complained, at the beginning of the season, that Lewis had special preference and was given a faster car. I now doubt that as Alonso suddenly gained over 1/2 second of speed and we now know that it was not down to him being the best driver, it was down to him knowing the technical set up of the ferraris, such as the tyre pressures. Lewis didn't get any of that information and that is the only reason Alonso made a come back. Without that data for Fuji, I think Lewis will get his 1/2 second back from Alonso as he is definitely the better driver without having to cheat to be so.

I think my money is on Lewis this race. And no, not just because im British- all the other circuits he was inexperienced and had never raced there before, yet still did well. At Fuji, it is a brand new circuit and. since he tested there before anyone else he has a massive advantage.
Looking at the nature of the turns at the circuit, i think the 2 Ferraris could accompany him on the podium (most likely Massa 2nd- UNLESS Ferrari have finally decided to back Raikkonen until the end of the championship).

I think Kimi said after Belgium that he heard Fuji is not the best place for Ferrari. I think Ferrari will not be competing for a wine there.

Einstein, it's the first car, in the first turn, on the first lap. Are you new to F1?

since it's a toyota-owned circuit , Toyota said months ago that they would like to release their all new Lexus supercar coinciding with their "first ever F1 fuji victory". I am a fan of toyota f1 but I highly doubt they'll win there unless they cheat or something. Toyota can't even beat Renault or BMW.
