Lewis Hamilton overtakes Nico Rosberg to win in Japan

Lewis Hamilton regained his total dominance of Formula One with his eighth victory of the season. Mercedes returned to the front of Formula 1 as Lewis Hamilton dominated the Japanese Grand Prix to put a stranglehold on the title race. Pole-sitter Rosberg was forced off the track and out of the title race via a slight push at turn two from Hamilton, who dominated this Japanese Grand Prix from start to finish. Sebastian Vettel, shock winner in Singapore, took third with Kimi Raikkonen fourth in the second Ferrari. They were followed by Bottas (Williams) and Nico Hulkenberg (Force India).

The win takes Hamilton 48 points ahead of Rosberg in the championship with five races to go, with Sebastian Vettel now 59 points behind.
