With just five rounds remaining, Lewis Hamilton is in a commanding position at the top of the drivers' championship after claiming his eighth win of the last season last time out at the Sochi Autodrom. Hamilton's latest victory means Sebastian Vettel trails the Mercedes driver by 50 points meaning winning each of the remaining races wouldn't be enough to win the title if Hamilton was to finish second each time.
The Japanese Grand Prix takes place at the legendary figure of eight Suzuka Circuit. A favourite among fans and drivers, its high-speed nature test drivers' bravery and the car's aerodynamic performance.
