F1, Japanese Grand Prix: Five Talking Points

#1 Lewis Hamilton takes his fourth consecutive win

F1 Grand Prix of Japan

The race was interesting, make no mistake, but little to nothing of the reason for that was Lewis Hamilton. The British driver had a smooth ride from the start of the race to the end. A flawless drive mixed with a speedy pit stop ensured that Lewis was never really under threat from anyone behind him.

Mercedes were dominant throughout, even with slight drivability concerns on the race leader's car. Max Verstappen did challenge Valtteri Bottas for the second place, but the Finn was able to hold onto his position.

With the fourth consecutive race win under his belt, Lewis has pushed the gap to championship rival even further, increasing it to a whopping 67 points.
