We have nkown for a while that Suzuka was being replaced with Fuji, but I think having it announced like this is just the confirmation I have been not looking forward to. Suzuka is not featured on the calendar anywhere and personally, I find that to be a disgrace.

Suzuka is undoubtly one of the best circuits to race, since I have not seen Fuji in action I really can't comment on that. But going from what you all are saying, it indeed looks like the financial issue. Well, they have been throwing “quiet some more” dollars at their car and the result was for all to see last weekend.

Ankit, I agree. It does seem to shout, "Who has more money gets the race." Maybe Toyota should throw some more dollars at their car instead!?

It has, it has often been said, 'every type of corner on one track'. A hairpinm chicane, fast esses, uphill and downhill corner, favourable and unfavourable cambers - it's even got a crossover. What does Fuji have? A big straight and a lot of tight corners. It looks completely undramatic - F1 cars would look slow on the Fuji layout, especially on television. The Japanese Grand Prix really should stay at Suzuka. It reflects very poorly on Toyota that they aparently want to move the race to such a dismal venue.
