Suzuka is widely regarded as one of the most technically challenging tracks of the season where success lies in the balance of the car. Each of the 3.6 mile laps includes an unforgiving combination of 16 turns, ranging from the slow speed, twisty Esses and Spoon corner at the start of the lap to the high speed 130R and Casio Triangle towards the end. With such a variation of turns, aero efficiency and car stability are crucial to allow the driver to achieve fluidity through the corners and record a quick lap time. Suzuka ranks among the top five fastest tracks on the calendar, one which requires high revs and sees a high average speed over one lap.

Both championships are on the edge now and battle is going to be tough throughout the remainder of this season. Schumi is now equal with Alonso in terms of points for Drivers Championship while Renault leads Ferrari by a single point in Constructors Championship. The weather at Suzuka is very unpredictable and one can expect a shower or two anytime of the day. With Bridgestone and Michelin expected to play their part in deciding the contests, one can expect an absolute thriller.

So who do you think would win at Suzuzka - with rains predicted atleast for the Saturday qualifiers?

Bridgestone find Suzuka solution?

Bridgestone succeeded in bringing new wet weather tyres to Suzuka, after partner teams including title challenger Ferrari struggled in China a week ago.

Both practice sessions for the Japanese grand prix were staged on a wet track on Friday, while local reports predicted the possibility for more rain later this weekend.

''We will have a different rain tyre in Japan,'' technical manager Hisao Suganuma said.

No Suzuka celbration, says Schu

A clear sign that Michael Schumacher is not expecting to wrap up his eighth and final world championship this weekend is the absence in Japan both of his wife and, rarely, long time manager Willi Weber.

''There will be no party (after the race),'' the emphatic German insisted to reporters on Thursday at Suzuka.

''On Sunday I will travel home.''

If the 37-year-old wins Sunday's race with a DNF by Fernando Alonso, he will seal the drivers' title.

The Ferrari driver also refused to comment on Fernando Alonso's apparent internal team quarrel at Renault.

a twist in tale..../

schumi`s engine blows

alonso in top

the race to go brazil for deciding the champion and mostlikely alphonso takes the championship.

sad sad

tifôsi

first engine blow up in something like 5 years ?? and it had to come now

I agree with Alonso .. formula one is fixed

medpal

alonso wins.

no hopes for schumi now to win the championship.

but he behaved like a champion and thanked all the ferrari pit crews and jumped to pitwall to celebrate massa`s podium finish.

still it will be an interesting view in next race in brazil.

ApeX

there are only two possibilities now:
1. alonso fails to finish the next race and schumi wins it.
2. alonso becomes 2006 F1 champion.

the 2nd one looks more likely.
