Japan 2007: Fuji opens floodgates for Lewis.

Hamilton takes step closer to title after wet-weather win.

The show of emotion proved that Formula One could be hard and fair, something that the McLaren pair are finding hard to reconcile as their title fight intensified. With Hamilton winning and Alonso failing to score in Japan, however, the situation looks a lot more cut-and-dried heading to Shanghai, the Briton enjoying a twelve-point gap with just 20 points left on offer.

Although Raikkonen remains in the frame, the Finn 17 points adrift, all Hamilton has to do is finish within a point of his rival in China to claim the crown in his first season. The pressure that had been being applied appears to have lifted.
