Japanese 1-2
Toyota & Honda.. front row of the grid to hometown teams and one team actually owns the circuit... can either of them pull off the victory
the tf105b takes a likeing to Ralf.. makes you wonder why they aint use it earlier and it also shows future promise for ralf's form.. he finally gets a car he didn't complain about and he's sitting on Pole and beign the base of theie 2006 car... gotta Wonder how things gonna look next year...we gonna see Ralf ahead of Trulli now?
Button and Bar, I give the advantage to them... beaing honda circuit I generally would assume they have amast a whole lot of info about the circuit... things like how it is wet, how fast it dries etc.... they should know every corner better than anyone...
How would it look if soon there is 2 Japanese GPs Fuji (Toyota) and Suzuka (Honda)

This is the best chance for Honda or Toyota to get a race win.
Lets hope one of them can do it.

I wouldn't mind Ralf wining Toyota' first race although there is a chance he will mess up, but on his good consistent days he is as good as Michael.

If a Japanese car wins, I hope it's either Ralf or Sato. I'd like Button to sweat for at least another year

I'd like something other than a Mclaren or Renault to win as well.If it's a wet race it could happen.If it's dry probably not,but watching the best cars come through the field will at least be interesting in itself.
Perhaps JV could!...............er,maybe not.

Let's not hope Ralf/Toyota makes the wrong tire decision this time....

You mean they'll remember to put some on.

I believe Ralf can win it.
Fisi could, but I don't believe he will.
I fear some problems for Jense.
Certainly that statement that it is likely the best opportunity for a Japanese win is correct.
Go Ralfie!

Who cares, it's a totally hollow grid. As I recall TF was boasting about the pole at Indy as well, which was done on minimal fuel.

It's not a hollow grid - it's a grid set under the rules of the day and is perfectly valid.
The average (casual) viewer will be very happy with the grid - it's the race that matters.
The current qualifying rules were brought in precisely so we'd get grids like this from time to time

Good luck to the japs, anyway.
It will be an interesting start, and let's see if one or both than keep the positions along the race.

It's a very hollow grid actually, with completely unfair conditions.
If all drivers had the chance to go out when they wanted and we had a grid like this, fine.
But what we have here is bloody ludicrous.
We will have a good race........but it is still unfair in the extreme.

Whether it's fair or not is irrelevant to an extent - if we get an exciting race that's what most viewers want.

Well we can get exciting races by doing what the BTCC do and applying reverse grids.
Yet that idea would be showered in instant scorn. No different though!
