As I’ve said recently, I’ve been really busy – so much so that I’m only now catching up with the Japanese Grand Prix weekend from a week ago!

Practice:

  1. Free Practice 1 (FP1): Ferrari are testing a new front wing; local boy Kobayashi topped the timing sheet at one point; Vettel touched the gravel and ran off into the tyre wall; Button was fastest (1:33,634) followed by LH, SV, FA, MW, FA, FM & SB
  2. FP2: VL parked his Force India off track; BS lost the Renault’s tail under braking for Turn 1 but the marshals pushed him out of the gravel and rejoined; RB touched the grass, spun the Williams into the tyre wall and wrecked the car but walked away unscathed; KK runs wide in the Spoon curve and turns his tyres green (paint from the run-off area); PM retires the other Williams; KK lost the tail at full speed in 130R (about 190mph), somehow saved it and kept going! JB fastest again (1:31.901) then FA, SV, MW, FM, MS, NR, LH.
  3. BS crashed coming out of Spoon; JB tops the time sheet again

I’m still playing catch-up; I finished August’s photos but I was so busy in September that I’ve barely made a dent in this month’s shots (in addition to the remaining ones from the Marillion Weekend and Toronto Honda Indy race weekend).
