It isn't until October, I'm sure they will have time to sort it, even if there any damage that far south.

400 people dead, and you're concerned about millionaires racing?

I think you could add a nought or two to that figure unfortunately.... And I doubt Japan gives a fk about their grand prix right now, and quite rightly so. I hope it gets no worse.

Yeah because a cancelled grand prix is the absolute worst outcome from all of this.

Whilst in no way wishing to be thought of as callous and uncaring, with due respect to the OP, this is, after all, pistonheads.com general motorsport forum IIRC ? ?

Agreed, the question will be fairly meaningless to a great majority of the Japanese population, but it has been posed in the correct place.

Thankyou Skunk,you summed up my own thoughts exactly!! Some people just don't see things in the same way.

It's not that at all. There could be thousands dead, and a possible nuclear incident, and you're pondering if the GP will be ok?

Just to keep things in perspective, how many pages long were the various threads relating to the possible cancellation of the Bahrain GP ?

I dont seem to remember an outcry demanding that everyone should be thinking of the poor little arabs having 7 kinds of st beaten out of them by a brutal regime ?

What is so different here, just because god is the perpetrator rather than some poxy arab prince ? or we have to feel sorrier for these lovely little Japanese people than we did for those nasty camel flea infested Arabs?

Me. I have no opinion either way, but I do find it a little hypocritical if we compare the outcry here with the Bahrain thread.

I think they have a bit more say in events in Bahrain, as opposed to Japan, wouldn't you say?

He Skunk, I think you'll find there isn't actually a God, and the disater was due to teutonic plates shifting causing a massive underwater earthquake resulting in a tsunami. Nature, not God.

I do actually support your view, although insurance companies and the like have been known to use the phrase act of god to describe natural disasters I tend more to your atheist viewpoint.

Had Suzuka been scheduled for 27th March, would there have been the same offence at the OP,s Q I wonder?

Only thing I can find wrong with the Q is the timescale till the event. God knows. . . or someone else then OK OK, what disasters we will have threatening our GP,s by then
Hell, if there is a God he might like to send the next tsunami to Monaco and sink the nasty corrupt little mafioso regime, along with all the nasty unsavoury individuals hanging out there. F1 drivers excepted , of course. biglaugh
