Lewis Hamilton
SUZUKA, Oct 5 (Agencies): Lewis Hamilton won a rain-shortened Japanese Grand Prix on Sunday, claiming his third straight Formula One win and widening his lead over teammate Nico Rosberg in the race for the drivers’ championship. With Hamilton leading Rosberg, a red flag came out on the 47th of 53 laps due to a crash involving Marussia driver Jules Bianchi. Race officials elected not to re-start the race and Hamilton was de-
clared the winner. Red Bull’s Sebastian Vettel finished third. The race celebrations were subdued as Bianchi was taken to a hospital by ambulance. Hamilton now leads Rosberg by 10 points with four races remaining. The rain also disrupted the early stages of the race, with the first nine laps run behind the safety car. After things settled down and the race begun, Hamilton did everything possible to gain on his teammate, who started from pole. Rosberg held the lead until the 29th lap where Hamilton got a better run onto the pit straight and blasted around the outside of Rosberg into Turn 1 to take the lead for good. “I had a lot more pace than Nico,” Hamilton said. “It’s not an easy circuit to follow on. But I was able to get close and with DRS was able to get side-by-side and put it in there.”
