Fernando Alonso made it two in a row by winning the Japanese Grand Prix at the Fuji Speedway. Robert Kubica was over 5 seconds behind in second while Kimi Raikonen took third place. Lewis Hamilton took pole position but some brash driving at the first corner on the first lap caused him to get a drive-through penalty. Hamilton had tried to overtake Raikonen after the Finn had overtaken him at the start. On the second lap, Hamilton caused Felipe Massa to slide partially into the gravel but Massa accidentally hit Hamilton's car and also got himself a drive-through penalty. Hamilton eventually finished out of the points in 12th while Massa finished 7th to earn 2 precious points. Hamilton's teammate, Heikki Kovalinen, suffered a blown engine and had to retire. Hamilton's lead in the Drivers Championship is now cut to just 5 points going into the last 2 races. Some drivers branded Hamilton's driving as "dangerous" while others advised him to cool down and not drive so aggressively. Fernando Alonso hopes that he can win the coming Chinese Grand Prix to make it three wins out of three.
