Indexed: Sun Oct 12, 2008 @ 07:45:56AM 1 month 3 weeks ago

The two main rivals for the 2008 drivers' title scored just one point between them in Sunday's Japanese Grand Prix, as both were hit by penalties early in the race. Ferrari's Felipe Massa finished eighth, while championship leader Lewis Hamilton managed only 12th for McLaren. Polesitter Hamilton was penalised for forcing Kimi Raikkonen wide into Turn One at the start. The Ferrari got a better getaway and was in front when Hamilton jinked right, almost hitting team mate Heikki Kovalainen in the process, and then locked up under braking.
