We rate the drivers after the Japanese GP
Suzuka, one of the drivers' favourite circuits - and rightly so - was the scene of several magnificent showings, and others less so. Edd Straw rates the drivers' performances in Japan
Started: 1st Finished: 1st
Strategy: 2 stops (soft-hard-hard)
It was a flawless weekend for Vettel, although such was the advantage that Red Bull had around Suzuka that it wasn't the most hard-fought victory he'll ever take. His task was made easier when neither Fernando Alonso nor Mark Webber survived the start unscathed. From then on, it was just a case of controlling the race.
