The scale of what Japan is experiencing and must overcome is inconcievable to most of us. However, times of extreme adversity often bring out the best in people and I have every confidence that the hard working and resourceful Japanese will overcome their current problems.
Their priorities will have to be housing, feeding and supporting a large population that has just lost everything. To do that they will need to get their economy back up and running. Motor racing, if affected, won't be a priority; something I find totally understandable.
I'm sure Chad didn't intend anything more than to remind us of Haiti but Japan will recover and rebuild much faster; they are in a much stronger starting position than Haiti would ever have been.
It's been a long day already and maybe I've got the wrong tone... apologies to anyone etc.
Just wanted to say my piece...
