Japanese holiday day 8, Ferrari Samurai

Out to the Suzuka circuit today for the final practice session and qualifying for tomorrow's Japanese Grand Prix. The Japanese certainly like to dress for the occasion as previously witnessed at Disney, and the Ferrari Samurai men were the most outrageous. There were at least ten of them, and I caught them here posing with someone who claimed to be Alonso! I came back red faced and armed after the supposedly wet and cloudy weather turned out to be hot and sunny. And we got to ride on the Suzuka big wheel without any lengthy queuing! Hoping Lewis can pull off a win tomorrow to keep on top of the world championship, I have my Union Jack ready to wave (used today as a rather thin sun shield).
