Aguri Suzuki finished 3rd at Suzuka in the Larrousse Lamborghini, it would be great to see another Japanese driver on the podium.
IF Antonelli gets a podium finish, he beats Verstappens record of youngest F1 driver to podium. Antonelli has to do it at this race, otherwise he won't be youngest F1 driver to podium.

So FP1 and Yuki is showing some promise. A tenth off of Max so far.....not bad. Definitely different pace from Lawson in FP.
Good to see they improved as session moved on. Need to keep that going the rest of the weekend. Mclaren are a bit of a surprise so far along with Russell pace.
A writer from the The Race was watching and offered this: Edd Straw's take on Tsunoda's session Tsunoda made an assured start to his Red Bull Racing career, setting a best time just 0.107s off team-mate Verstappen. He was on target to improve on that on the final lap of his second run only to go deep at the chicane and ruin his lap. He took a sensible approach to the session, feeling his way in but always looking confident and in control. Initially, he pushed harder in the slow corners - suffering from some wheelspin at the exits - but then gradually became more attacking in the quicker corners. His communication was also clear and concise as he and the team worked through various settings experiments with diff and brake-balance settings. Like his team-mate, he used two sets of softs with a similar runplan - although Verstappen split his first run. That meant a mini long-run for his final stint, on which he struggled for rear grip and had a bigger deficit to Verstappen. But it was a good start for Tsunoda, who looked confident and in control even though there were moments when the car caught him out, and reported "I found the car quite interesting on the track".
