Suzuka - Japan Grand Prix Track Update

Here's a track update of the the Suzuka Circuit - Japan for F1 2013 ™ by Codemasters.

In what is becoming a typical story on the opening day of grand prix weekends: Red Bull played second fiddle to Mercedes in the morning FP1 session, but by the end of the afternoon the blue cars were on top of the timing screens – ditto the opening day of the Japanese Grand Prix with Sebastian Vettel and Mark Webber leading the way, with the triple World Champion fastest of all.

Vettel was the only driver to break into the 93 second zone, around the iconic Suzuka venue, with his best time of 1:33.652,which was 0.168 up on teammate Mark Webber.

As had been the case in the morning, the session was punctuated by a number of drivers being caught out by the circuit’s demands.

Earlier Marussia had announced Jules Bianchi would take no part in FP2, his chassis having been too badly damaged to be repaired in time, so only 21 cars went out for the early runs.

Having had a truncated opening session, Pastor Maldonado lost more time in the afternoon. Eleven minutes into FP2 he overshot at the second Degner and went into the barrier. When his Williams was cleared the track was only clear for a short time before McLaren’s Sergio Pérez ran wide on the entrance to Spoon and careened into the wall.

The yellow flags for Pérez heralded a general return to the pitlane, with most drivers shedding the Hard tyres and changing to the Medium compound for the first time in the day. Times immediately began to fall, though the extra grip did not seem to reduce the hazard.

Fernando Alonso spun at Degner but avoided hitting anything solid. Meanwhile, Webber lapped untroubled and rose to P1 with a time of 1:34.020. That benchmark stood only for a minute before Vettel arrived and became the first man under 1m34s, with a lap of 1:33.852.

Behind the Red Bulls other front-runners, also on fresh Mediums, were doing their quickest laps of the session. Nico Rosberg was third fastest for Mercedes, ahead of Kimi Räikkönen and Romain Grosjean for Lotus respectively. <<source>>
