JB CLASS IN JAPAN

Justin: I know my esteemed colleague will rain down the plaudits on the youngest ever double world champion and rightly so


I will kick off by saying what a thoroughly entertaining race and what a fantastic drive once again by Jenson Button

This guy just gets better and better! With a new multiyear deal in his pocket he seems more at home than ever at Mclaren now


Vettel squeezed him firmly but fairly off the line allowing Lewis to slip through into second


Soon after this Lewis got a puncture which dropped him out of the running for the win and he later had some light contact with Massa yet again

For the majority of the race the top six drivers where never more than a handful of seconds apart and it was just mesmerising watching six of the best drivers out there hammering it around this famous old circuit

Both JB and Alonso jumped Vettel in the pitstops but they all remained rather close throughout especially through the closing laps as Alonso closed on JB whilst Vettel was told to hold station in third for the points needed to wrap up the title (i dont think he listened to start with though!)

Alonso has the third best car out there and to haul it up to a fine second place was a great achievement for him and Ferrari

The most amusing moment of the day had to come in the drivers area just before the go out to the podium where JB and SV talked over their starts

"oh we"re racing like that then" was Buttons reply to Vettel looking somewhat unfussed by his startline move which immediately made the double world champion look a bit silly

Thats the utter class of JB these days and he is rather burying Lewis right now

To Korea we go!
