. . .

Still reeling from the shock of seeing Schumi's Japanese Grand Prix ended abruptly in a trail of white smoke. Yup, a blown Ferrari engine behind Michael Schumacher - that has not happened in an official F1 race since Indianapolis 2001! And what a time for it to happen too - Schumi was leading Alonso with more than 5s, all pitstops done and just 15 laps to go. Oh well, what a twist in the tale.

So Alonso wins at Suzuka, Massa is second after getting massively delayed by Nick Heidfeld allowing Alonso to get past him from the 2nd pitstop, Fisichella earns some important points for Renault coming in 3rd. Alsonso now lead Schumi by 10 points and everything is stacked against the German leaving on a high with his 8th F1 champion's trophy.

Still, as we've seen today, you can't predict what happens on the tracks in F1 - that's the beauty of the sport.

Bring on Interlagos!
