Default Super Typhoon Threatens Japanese F1 GP

The Japanese Grand Prix is scheduled to take place at the Suzuka circuit, south-west of Osaka, meaning both qualifying and the race itself could be impacted. In the 2014 race at the same circuit, Jules Bianchi crashed in heavy rain from Typhoon Panphone and died from his injuries the following year.

You guys are funny!

does look like the path could affect the race. The track is in Mie prefecture which is in the sticks. I’ve been there. Awesome track. Will do a racing school there one day during a Japan biz dev trip for sure.

My wife is currently in Yokohama, was planning on training to Suzuka, but will likely change her plans now.
I was in Yoko last month, got out ~ 10 hours before a Typhoon.

Global Warming in action....................................?

I actually feel bad that someone, most likely her parents, filled her with so much fear that she believes the world is coming to an end. Eventually, but not for a very long time and certainly not due to "global warming".

That being said, I agree with VR that if you are marching around, and speaking at the UN, you have to be able to take some push back. My push back is measured compared to both but I do think her delivery and facial contortions don't help her. I heard she has Aspergers but didn't do any research to confirm. If that is true all the more reason why I believe she has horrible parents.

Lastly, lighten the F up dude!

Back to F1 - it appears Saturday is cancelled and they may try to qualify Sunday morning. If they can't practice will be deemed qualifying.

I respect differing beliefs except when they are dripping with self righteous sanctimony, which hers were. And this sums it up:
