The Yeongam circuit will host its second Formula 1 race this weekend, the first with Pirelli as the tire manufacturer. And the Italian company has decided to supply drivers with soft and supersoft tires, which should make for an interesting race because the South Korean track is very abrasive, and tire wear should therefore be significant.

Romain Grosjean, who holds the position of third driver for the Lotus Renault team since Bruno Senna's appointment in place of Nick Heidfeld, is not expected to drive the R31 this year. It was Eric Boullier, the director of the LRGP team, who explained this following the Japanese Grand Prix on Sunday.

The Lotus Renault team aimed to place both its drivers in Q3 this weekend at Suzuka, an objective that was achieved yesterday, and the team hoped to legitimately see both drivers finish in the top 10 and score significant points at Suzuka. However, while Vitaly Petrov managed to score points, Bruno Senna experienced a difficult race and finished far back in 16th position. The two points scored by the Russian allow the British team to slightly increase its lead over Force India in the constructors' championship.

The entire audience was waiting to see their favorite, Kamui Kobayashi, achieve wonders in the race like last season, but things did not go very well for the Japanese driver. It was ultimately his teammate, Sergio Perez, who shone in Japan. The Mexican driver, who started from 17th place and has been suffering from the flu since yesterday, accomplished an incredible performance by finishing the race in 8th place, which allows the Swiss team to score valuable points in the battle for 6th place in the constructors' championship.

Force India was hoping to score some points at Suzuka this weekend, but it was not to be. The strategies of Adrian Sutil and Paul di Resta were thwarted by the safety car intervention. In the final laps, both drivers - on medium tires - could not compete with drivers on soft tires. They ultimately finished just outside the points in 11th and 12th place.

Felipe Massa's contract with Ferrari ends at the end of 2012, and it seems increasingly likely that the Brazilian driver will not stay with the team for the 2013 season. After rumors suggesting Jules Bianchi or Sergio Pérez as replacements for the Brazilian driver, it is now Nico Rosberg's turn to reportedly inquire about a possible seat with the team.

After a more than disappointing weekend in Singapore, the Lotus Renault team was hoping to bounce back in Suzuka and things seem to be off to a good start as Vitaly Petrov and Bruno Senna's R31s seem comfortable on the Suzuka circuit. Both drivers are delighted with their car's current performance but hope to make a few more adjustments to gain additional performance for the qualifying session and the race.

The Force India team hoped to compete with the LRGP drivers this weekend at Suzuka, but that's not really the case. Additionally, they saw the Toro Rosso team get ahead of them, but even though Sutil, di Resta, and Hülkenberg all encountered significant tire wear issues, they believe they can improve this point by adjusting their settings for the qualifying session and the race.
