Both of our drivers stayed in the Far East after Singapore. Kazuki Nakajima enjoyed some home comforts at home in Nagoya, Japan, while Nico did a bit of surfing and furniture shopping in Bali. “Yes, that’s right,” says Nico, “I went furniture shopping. There’s loads of great stuff in Bali; my girlfriend wanted to take loads of it home!”

What Nico didn’t splash out on furniture in Bali, he spent on the Williams F1 marketing team last night. He took our six marketers to a restaurant close to the team’s Highland Park hotel as a ‘thank you’ for their hard work this year. What do you want, Nico?!

Being the only Japanese driver in F1, Kazuki Nakajima will be the focus of attention for many fans this weekend and not least the children from the Gotemba City Elementary School. They have produced two banners for their hero, entitled “Victory Run” and “Go, Go”. Don’t let them down, Kazuki!

Hats off to a group of Honda engineers, who climbed to the 3,800m summit of Mount Fuji on Wednesday afternoon. They climbed the Fujinomiya route just hours after getting off a plane from London; is there no mountain too high for those guys?
