Yeah, I'm waiting on official word, but I'd be awful surprised if qualifying doesn't get delayed until Sunday morning.

Don't be too down, we all have something to be happy about if today is cancelled:-
Torro Rosso - a lower ranked team has the fastest time for the day
Ferrari issued no team orders
Mark kept both feet on the ground
Lewis went a day without crashing
Felipe got to mix with people who are mostly shorter than him
Jenson didn't have to "inexplicably" slow to F1-walking-pace
Seb didn't take anyone out
Fernando got to trim his eyebrows
Mr Horner didn't have to defend himself from Mr Whitmarsh
Mr Whitmarsh took a day off attacking Mr Horner's car

ESPNF1:
Suzuka qualifying was run on Sunday morning in 2004 in order to avoid the typhoon Ma-on. In the very unlikely circumstances that no qualifying session is possible ahead of the race the cars will start in numerical order.

Yeah, ok by me, if we're good enough we can pass. I'd be ok with letting your guys get lucky on that.
BTW, I think (not 100% sure on this) the rules state, if they did decide to open Qualifying tomorrow, and the cars actually line-up in the pit-lane, even if they were not released to to a complete lap, but were released to go around and come back into the pits (i.e. session was stopped again before it actually got under way) then the grid line-up would be the order that they were lined up in the pit lane to go out

Is there any way to watch replay of the qualifying because there's no way I'm waking up at 4am tomorrow and go for a gamble if my channel shows it.

A synthesis of today's Qualifying session, even for those who haven't woken up early to watch it.

What if the conditions for the race are somewhere in between the limits of a dry setup and a wet setup, would they allow changes to be made so the race could go ahead or just cancel it because it wouldn't be safe for a dry setup and they're not allowed to make changes in parc ferme?

Wonder if they are Neweys Yacht designs :hehe:

and Stonemonkey,The teams would have to race with the setup they would run in Qualifying, They spoke to Ross Brawn about this during the time killing phase of Q coverage today and he suggested that everyone would setup the car in a dry setup for the race and Qualify with that. Youd probably get some of the lower teams going the full wet setup but really in a dry race with a wet setup would that be beneficial? Nope! :hehe:

Yep, I saw that but what if the conditions were too wet for a dry setup car (with wet tyres/front wing set) to start safely but that a full wet setup could cope with? Could it be another indy 2005?

Are the cars in parc ferme at the moment?
