Race organizers are bracing themselves for a rain-disrupted Japanese Grand Prix this weekend as a powerful typhoon closes in.
 
Heavy rain lashed the Suzuka circuit on Thursday with more wet and windy weather forecast for the weekend as Typhoon Phanfone is predicted to slam into Japan on Monday.
 
Several drivers have been warned, with Force India's Sergio Perez telling reporters: "The hurricane might come. If it comes, probably we won't be able to race."
 
Organizers could be forced to tweak the schedule to avoid major disruption, should the typhoon strike the region.
