Anthony Njage: This is going to be very interesting. Both Ferraris will fighting each other to the first corner - especially after the last race!
Kayleigh: Pretty sure Ferrari need to give up racing if they decide to play the same games as they did in Russia tbh. Let Seb keep the position from the start and have them actually race instead of swapping them...

Mercedes have won the past five races here. They've got two Ferraris to get ahead of if they are to extend that run.

Jeremiah Kariuki: Ferrari will have to have a whip and crack if any team orders are to be followed. It is pay back time for Leclerc on what happened to him in Russia GP. Tough one which may play into the hands of Mercedes.

End of twitter postJules Bianchi 1989-2015published at 06:03 British Summer Time 13 October 2019
It's been five years since the crash at Suzuka that killed Jules Bianchi.
The Frenchman drove for Marussia, and was tipped to be the next Ferrari driver, but during a very wet race in 2014, Bianchi hit a recovery vehicle under the safety car at the Dunlop Curve.
The 25-year-old was hospitalised, but died nine months later from his injuries.
Bianchi's life has been celebrated this week, as Formula 1 approached the Japanese Grand Prix, and he remains in the hearts of many.
Earlier this week, his godson, Charles Leclerc wrote on Instagram, external: "5 years since that horrible day in Suzuka...
"Leaving for Japan on Sunday, it's never easy to go back to such a track after what happened but we always have you in our memories."

End of twitter post 2What will the teams do today?published at 05:53 British Summer Time 13 October 2019
Andrew Benson
BBC Sport’s chief F1 writerOK, some strategy chat. This is expected to be a one-stop race - even the soft tyre was pretty durable on Friday and is should run for 20 to 30 laps, taking teams past half distance if necessary, although the fact the track is ‘green’ after the typhoon on Saturday may increase wear and degradation. A pit stop is in the region of 22-23 seconds and people will be delaying them as long as possible to avoid the risk of being caught out by stopping before any safety car or virtual safety car and losing out in the way Charles Leclerc did in Russia.
This can win a team as much as nine seconds on stopping under racing conditions and it pushes teams into doing cautious strategies and extended first stints, especially as overtaking is so difficult at Suzuka, with the computers saying drivers need a two-second pace advantage to make a pass work. If there’s a late safety car, watch for the drivers just behind the leaders making stops for fresh tyres and then attacking because they have nothing to lose. This could be a big risk for the leaders.
