LEWIS Hamilton has one hand on the F1 world championship after a dream victory in the Japanese GP and another nightmare afternoon for title rival Sebastian Vettel.
Vettel was forced to retire from the race he had barely started while Hamilton was victorious ahead of Red Bull pair Max Verstappen and Daniel Ricciardo despite a late scare as Verstappen scented his second win in a week to extend his title lead to a near-impregnable 59 points.
Hamilton will secure the world championship as early as the United States GP later this month if he extends his advantage over Vettel by another 16 points.
Vettel’s nightmare run of form since the summer break plunged to a new low when he was forced to park up his broken Ferrari car on the opening laps after it lost power.
For the second race in a row a late-breaking Ferrari mechanical problem has prematurely ended the day of one of their drivers, but unlike Kimi Raikkonen’s woes in not starting at Sepang this had wider-ranging impact.
Sebastian Vettel started the race, but was immediately off the pace and quickly back in the garage retired. This cleared the way for Lewis Hamilton to win and open a near unassailable lead in the title race. His win was not without some drama, after holding Max Verstappen at bay all day Hamilton began to have tyre issues late in the race, only narrowly holding on to top spot.
Hamilton now goes to Austin in a fortnight with the chance to win the championship.
