Lewis Hamilton on verge of title after Japan win, Sebastian Vettel sixth.
Suzuka [7 October 2018]
Lewis Hamilton has inched ever closer to a fifth world championship after
dominating an incident-filled Japanese Grand Prix as title rival Sebastian
Vettel once again hit trouble.
Vettel had enjoyed a lightning start to go from eighth to fourth by the end of the first lap but his race, and championship challenge, unraveled soon after. On lap eight, the German attempted a dubious pass on Red Bull's Max Verstappen upon entry into Spoon Curve, only to run out of tarmac. As a result, the pair made light contact and Vettel was spun around, dropping back to last place.
He recovered to finish P6 after scrapping his way past the midfield teams, but with Hamilton claiming yet another win, he has slipped to what is surely an insurmountable 67 points behind in the championship standings. In fact, Hamilton can claim the title next time out in Austin if he is to win and Vettel doesn't finish second.
