After the heat and humidity of Malaysia we head north to the land of the rising sun, the talk on everyone's lips will be the continuation of Hamilton's mechanical troubles after his engine blew whilst leading. There's more accusations of sabotage within Mercedes, but they have already dismissed all of them. What it has done though is spiced up the title fight. Nico is almost a race win worth of points ahead with 5 races to go. Things are going to get tense, get ready for the Japanese Grand Prix.
