I’ll see if Aragorn’s got it, if he’s not in his hair appointment.

Ah, pity, Fuji was a good track, though Suzuka is better. Let’s hope they can afford to continue hosting the race.

Good article btw, forgot to mention that bit. :)
So that means us lucky readers have this to look forward to before every race and Emma’s Badgerometer after every race. We are spoiled indeed!

I don’t have Gandalf’s number unfortunately.

You’re perfectly right Dave H: Fuji has held the race for the last 2 years, but with Suzuka this year they were intending to alternate between the two circuits (so Fuji was intended for next year, but they’ve pulled out).

Well Renault did manage to conjour up some magic last year for the closing races. Maybe their magician’s gotten too big for his boots and is demanding a huge salary for less work. Anyone got Gandalf’s number?

And i’m a little confused with your Fuji bit saying: “after this year’s race, (Fuji) will no longer host the Japanese grand prix”. It’s Suzuka this year, not Fuji. Toyota and Honda agreed to alternate locations for each year’s GP, like Nurburgring and Hockenheim currently do.
Did you mean perhaps next year’s race will be the last?
