The Complete 2007 Japanese GP Review
A thorough review of all the events and results from the 15th round of the season
In the space of a single, soaking, afternoon in Japan, Lewis Hamilton put an end to 2007's remarkably close title battle and moved to within sniffing distance of a historic championship victory in his first season of Formula One.
Such a result seemed unthinkable seven months ago, and indeed in the weeks building up to Fuji it began to look increasingly unlikely - as Fernando Alonso recovered his serenity and narrowed Hamilton's lead to just two points. Amid suggestions that Hamilton had taken the stress of the inter-team feuds and the 'spygate' furore to heart and had begun to tense up on-track, it seemed as if Alonso might sneak a third straight title after all.
