After an action packed (well the first bit anyway) Japanese Grand Prix we are still no closer to knowing who will win this years drivers championship. Massa finished in eighth place securing one championship point whilst Lewis Hamilton finished in 12th, well outside of the points.

During the race both contenders were penalised by the stewards, Hamilton on the first corner of the first lap for overtaking The Boring Bastard and Massa for spinning Hamilton. At the end of the day this left Alonso to take another victory (I wonder what odds you would have got on Alonso winning to races in a row this year?) With 2 races left there is now 6 points between the top 2 drivers and it looks like the FIA have got what they wanted all along. With so much money in terms of TV rights covering Formula 1 it makes perfect sense that the powers that be would want the championship to be dragged out until the last race.

I’m fully expect a few more things to go in Ferrari’s favour before this seasons out.
