Monisha Kaltenborn will become Formula 1's first lady team principal when Peter Sauber officially passes the baton on Saturday, the day that he turns 69.

Romain Grosjean's elimination of Mark Webber at the first corner of the Japanese Grand Prix has prompted suggestions that the Frenchman needs another 'holiday' having just returned from a one-race ban for causing the first corner accident in the Belgian GP at Spa.

Lotus, fighting to keep Kimi Raikkonen in with an outside chance of the world championship, is to temporarily abandon its double DRS system, known internally as 'the device' but will debut a Coanda effect exhaust in Korea.

That was the verdict of McLaren team principal Martin Whitmarsh after a Japanese Grand Prix in which his new recruit failed to finish after, ironically, an attempted pass of Lewis Hamilton, the man he replaces, went awry.

Red Bull Racing team principal Christian Horner believes that his team's dominant win in the Japanese GP was track specific rather than reflective of the type of form we can expect over the remaining five races.

After scoring his first Formula 1 podium at his home race at Suzuka, Kamui Kobayashi spoke about the race.
