SFormula points leader Tomoki Nojiri admits things really are as bad as they look for him after ending up 16th-fastest in Friday practice at Suzuka:
Nojiri wound up all the way down in 16th place in Friday's 90-minute session, which marks the only running prior to Saturday morning's qualifying session for the penultimate round of the season.
"The car’s level is pretty bad, so I don’t think it’s realistic to target being at the top, but I’m hoping to get to a level where we can compete at least to some extent. We’re not getting anywhere with the current set-up, so we’re making some changes. We need to find the issue, right now we have no idea.
"The problem is the balance is not consistent," Ichise told reporters."We had oversteer on entry, understeer in the middle of the corner and oversteer on exit. You can't attack with confidence like this. Kondo Racing's Fenestraz said of Nojiri:"I would be surprised if he qualifies that low tomorrow. I won’t be surprised if he is back to where he is usually. I know he is quick, and Honda is likely to be quick this weekend in the colder conditions."The Kondo Racing driver added he was"not happy at all" with his best lap despite ending up third behind Oyu and Sho Tsuboi.
