Frances Fry (Assistant Writer) - "The Japanese Grand Prix did not fail to impress, as per usual. However, I did not feel entirely able to enjoy the occurrences of the race due to the absence of Jules Bianchi. The loss of him felt ever prominent at Suzuka. This was evidently felt by many of the drivers.
Despite having a heavy heart, the drivers performed outstandingly, with all of them crossing the line except Sauber's Felipe Nasr. However, the community that we belong to rang ever strong and touching tributes to Jules & were dotted around the track. T-shirts, face paints and even banners decorated with the memorial '#JB17'. Overall, the race was of a stellar standard with incredible wheel-to-wheel racing, something I can enjoy no matter how early I have to wake up to see it. The race was one that Jules would've loved, full of passion and a raw love for racing."
Amy Hawk (Lead Writer & Editor) - "For me, it was hard, of course, to watch the Japanese GP after last year. Like everyone else, I miss Jules & it's sad that he wasn't around to race this year. It was lovely to see so many fans wearing red and holding flags with tributes to Jules. It's so amazing when the F1 community comes togther like that.
The race itself was good, but mellow.. Only one retirement. Not exactly sure what happened with Nasr's car. Sauber said the problems were "Unidentified" - It sucks that he couldn't finish the race. Very happy to see McLaren have both cars finishing the race this time around, especially after so many double-retirements this year. Russia is next.. Can't wait to see how it goes. Cheers!"
