Sebastian Vettel has won the Japanese GP after leading it from start to finish. With the DNF of Fernando Alonso, this also means that he was able to close the gap to Alonso to a mere 4 points in the championship standings. The remaining Ferrari of Felipe Massa finished in second place while home here Kamui Kobayashi joined the podium in third place.
Looks like a Red Bull 1-2...time to go to sleep...lack luster last 5 races after this one I guess....
If someone said to me that you can have three wishes, my first would have been to get into racing, my second to be in Formula 1, my third to drive for Ferrari.
Alonso on 7. Hamilton got caught by the yellow on 9. Looks great for the race and the championship except Hamilton too far behind.

how about tyre deg?
it won't be such a decisive factor now, since all their closest rivals are starting far back on the grid. They should be able to manage the race well unless something bad happens..ohhh..Grosjean is starting 4th..
WTF! My morning is ruined! What is Kimi Raikkonen doing (lucky that Hamilton is even worse off)? He is continuing to be "less impressive" in qualifying this season. If Romain Grosjean could have the consistency, imagine where Lotus GP would be!? Ofcourse Robert Kubica... I don't even want to picture that senario.
It's starting to look like it's been for the last two-three years... everyone is messing up when it really counts... except for Sebastian Vettel (and his team mate is not able to challenge him).
Predictions for the race: Booooooring as hell in the top, hopefully some challenges for the last podium step...
The speed of Ayrton Senna.
The mind of Alain Prost.
The dedication of Michael Schumacher.
The determination of Alex Zanardi.
