Japanese GP Practice 3: Abandoned

The 3rd and final practice session of the Japanese Grand Prix was abandoned due to extreme bad weather. The practice session was initially delayed for half an hour, beginning at local time 11.30am instead of the planned 11am, but was eventually abandoned after 4 mins into practice time. Only Alex Wurz, Nico Rosberg and Jarno Trulli were able to set lap times in the respective sequence. All drivers other than Kimi Raikkonen managed an installation lap before the session was finally abandoned.

If the weather continues, it could set the background for a very interesting Fuji race. With the lack of familiarity of the track and the wet weather, the race could easily go in anyone's favour.
