A lap of Suzuka with Jenson Button:

"On the downhill straight that begins the lap, I will reach a max speed of around 305km/h in top gear before entering the first corner, which is in fact the first part of a double-apex right-hander."

"I will take the first part in fifth gear at around 260km/h, braking again to around 150km/h in third gear for the second apex. I then enter the very tricky section behind the pits. This demands an extremely responsive car, and you need to establish a good rhythm. Through the first three corners of this complex, I hold fourth gear, taking the corners at around 210, 190, and 195km/h respectively."

"After this, I enter a right-hander, which is slightly slower, taken in third gear at approximately 140km/h. This then leads into the long, uphill left-hand corner, in which I accelerate through fourth and fifth gear, reaching top gear and 290km/h on the next short straight before braking for the first of two right-hand corners."

"The first is taken at just under 210km/h in fourth gear, followed by a second gear, 125km/h bend. The circuit then passes under the bridge and down to the hairpin, reaching 270km/h in fifth before braking for this sharp left-hand corner, which I take at around 60km/h in fist gear."

"The next section begins with a long right-hander, taken flat, and I reach nearly 300km/h in top gear before slowing to 190km/h for the first part of the Spoon Curve. The second part of the Curve requires me to drop down to third gear, and 145km/h, fighting understeer in order to exit cleanly onto the back straight which leads to 130R. I will take this daunting curve in top gear at 285km/h, left-foot braking to settle the car while attempting to keep the throttle wide open."

"I then reach the best overtaking opportunity on the circuit at the end of the next straight, taking this chicane in first gear, at a speed of 65km/h, before the run down the hill to the start/finish line."
