Behind the scenes at Suzuka

AUTOSPORT's group F1 editor Jonathan Noble brings more tales from the paddock after the Japanese Grand Prix weekend

Formula 1 has had a near 25-year love affair with the Japanese Grand Prix at Suzuka - and there was an even bigger desire to see the 2011 event succeed following the harrowing news of the earthquake and tsunami that struck the country earlier this year.

The likes of Honda, Toyota, Mugen and Bridgestone, which at one time ensured a near-continuous Japanese presence in the sport for decades, might have gone, but even so there was a tremendous spirit at Suzuka as the fans and the F1 fraternity came together.
