David Coulthard's Japanese Grand Prix preview
In his exclusive Japanese Grand Prix Preview, 13-time grand prix winner David Coulthard believes there's only one man that can beat Sebastian Vettel at Suzuka this weekend
As we have seen this year there is more than one driver/team combination that can win in 2011, but on the evidence of overall car performance the only person likely to beat Sebastian Vettel at Suzuka (weather permitting) is Mark Webber.
Clearly we haven't seen the best of Mark this year, even if the gap between himself and Seb has been tiny in qualifying and race results have been largely influenced by the quality of their starts.
