Adrian Sutil kept Force India’s hopes of snatching another podium alive by qualifying fourth for tomorrow’s race in Suzuka, Japan. As a result of several high speed accident, only eight cars went through to Q3.

Update – Sutil drops five places down the order because race stewards found he ignored yellow flags being waved after Sebastien Buemi crashed into barriers during qualifying. Demotion handed out to as many as five drivers and slashing chances of Force India’s possible podium finish.
