Suzuka, 2012" class="alignnone size-large wp-image-65201"/></a></p> <p>Japan’s F1 fans are famously enthusiastic about the sport. Here’s a pair of <a title="Red Bull" href="/web/20121010223955/http://www.f1fanatic.co.uk/f1-information/f1-teams/red-bull/">Red Bull</a> supporters with home-made headgear.</p> <h3>Pedro de la Rosa, Friday practice</h3> <p><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20121010223955/http://www.f1fanatic.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/hrt-dela-suzu-2012.jpg"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20121010223955im_/http://www.f1fanatic.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/hrt-dela-suzu-2012-886x589.jpg" alt="Pedro da la Rosa, HRT, Suzuka, 2012" title="Pedro da la Rosa, HRT, Suzuka, 2012" class="alignnone size-large wp-image-65197"/></a></p> <p><a title="Pedro de la Rosa" href="/web/20121010223955/http://www.f1fanatic.co.uk/pedro-de-la-rosa/">Pedro de la Rosa</a> spent part of his early career racing in Japanese Formula Three and Formula Nippon. He put his Suzuka expertise to good use for HRT, out-qualifying Charles Pic’s Marussia and Vitaly Petrov’s Caterham.</p> <h3>Pastor Maldonado, Friday practice</h3> <p><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20121010223955/http://www.f1fanatic.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/will-mald-suzu-2012-1.jpg"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20121010223955im_/http://www.f1fanatic.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/will-mald-suzu-2012-1-886x590.jpg" alt="Pastor Maldonado, Williams, Suzuka, 2012" title="Pastor Maldonado, Williams, Suzuka, 2012" class="alignnone size-large wp-image-65023"/></a></p> <p><a title="Pastor Maldonado" href="/web/20121010223955/http://www.f1fanatic.co.uk/pastor-maldonado/">Pastor Maldonado</a> catches the full glare of the low sun at Suzuka. Unlike in Singapore he didn’t make it to Q3 – let alone the front row of the grid – but he was able to finally claim his first points since winning the Spanish Grand Prix five months ago.</p> <h3>Romain Grosjean, Japanese Grand Prix</h3> <p><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20121010223955/http://www.f1fanatic.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/lotu-gros-suzu-2012-51.jpg"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20121010223955im_/http://www.f1fanatic.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/lotu-gros-suzu-2012-51-886x590.jpg" alt="Romain Grosjean, Lotus, Suzuka, 2012" title="Romain Grosjean, Lotus, Suzuka, 2012" class="alignnone size-large wp-image-65199"/></a></p> <p>It all went disastrously wrong for <a title="Romain Grosjean" href="/web/20121010223955/http://www.f1fanatic.co.uk/romain-grosjean/">Romain Grosjean</a> a few minutes after this picture was taken on the grid. He crashed into Mark Webber at turn two, earning a ten-second stop-go penalty from the stewards.</p> <p>Coming just one race after he returned from a <a href="/web/20121010223955/http://www.f1fanatic.co.uk/2012/09/02/grosjean-handed-onerace-ban-firstcorner-crash/" title="Grosjean handed one-race ban for first-corner crash">ban for causing a crash in the Belgian Grand Prix</a>, Grosjean was widely criticised, <a href="/web/20121010223955/http://www.f1fanatic.co.uk/2012/10/07/webber-fumes-firstlap-nutcase-grosjean/" title="Webber fumes at “first-lap nutcase” Grosjean">not least by a furious Webber</a>.</p> <p>“Since Singapore, I’ve been trying to be really cautious at the starts,” explained Grosjean afterwards, “and it’s been all the more frustrating to be involved in an incident in Japan.”</p> <p>“When approaching the first corner, I was watching <a title="Sergio Perez" href="/web/20121010223955/http://www.f1fanatic.co.uk/sergio-perez/">Sergio [Perez]</a> on my left to make sure there was no contact with him. I didn’t expect such a big speed difference between me and Mark braking into the corner, we collided and that was it. It was a stupid mistake.</p> <p>“Mark came to see me after the race and was obviously not happy, but I apologised and we have to move on. I’ve sat down and looked at things again with the team; for sure it’s still an area we need to improve. We’re clearly focusing on this area for the next races.”</p> <h3>Japanese Grand Prix start</h3> <p><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20121010223955/http://www.f1fanatic.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/start-suzu-2012.jpg"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20121010223955im_/http://www.f1fanatic.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/start-suzu-2012-886x590.jpg" alt="Start, Suzuka, 2012" title="Start, Suzuka, 2012" class="alignnone size-large wp-image-65203"/></a></p> <p>The other Lotus of <a title="Kimi Raikkonen" href="/web/20121010223955/http://www.f1fanatic.co.uk/kimi-raikkonen/">Kimi Raikkonen</a> was also involved in a controversial collision at the start.
