Finn returned to the podium in Fuji but is now mathematically out of title contention.

It's a miracle that Hamilton didn't seriously injure several drivers with his foolish banzai late braking into turn one. More proof that Kubica's comments last week about Hamilton's dangerous driving had merit, despite Ron Dennis' ignorant denial of same.

Lewis is such an idiot. The FIA should suspend him for at least 3 races.

Lewis behaved well in Singapore, so, why did he feel it necessary to pull another dangerous, extremely over-ambitious move on Kimi? He was threatened by Kimi's renewed pace in quali and feared a repeat of last season's catch-up and win by his more cool-headed rival. Any respect I had for Hamilton is now quickly evaporating. The FIA cannot, unfortunately, add any points to Kimi's column, but they could have suspended Lewis for one race for his decidedly unsportsman-like driving. This Schumacher-like maneuver effectively killed Kimi's chances to win this race and keep his championship hopes alive.
In the unfolding of this incident, Massa again suffers unjustly as well. His visor may have been a bit steamed-up when he punted Lewis.
Furthermore, Heiki hit Kimi while using Lewis' unwarranted slipstream. Is it possible they actually planned to take Kimi and/or Massa out? Was Heiki prepared to possibly sacrifice his own race to play the role of second to it's extremes? Perhaps the F1 gods answered quickly by trashing his engine. "Carma"! McClaren has lost another fan since they can't seem to keep their drivers in check, or worse, are encouraging them to win at all cost. Remember, they have much to make up for la$t $ea$on'$ intrigue. They have proven they have not been above corruption and cheating after all.
Again, luck falls into Alonso's mostly undeserving hands. My vote for best drive in this race goes to Kubica. He even talked about the exact graining strategy he used with Peter before the race and it kept him from losing the position to Kimi. And, finally, it's a testament to Kimi's skills that he was even standing on the podium after the whole mess. Ferrari should have had the tire issue under control by now.

K. Raikkonen forces L. Hamilton to cut the chicane at Spa and LH is penalized. L.H. forces K.R.(and is forced) wide at Japan and L.H. is penalized. The Stewards found a way to ameleorate Massa's penalty by penalizing Bourdais for F.M.'s 2nd mistake.

C'mon, you Ferrari worshippers thought this kind of driving was great when Schumacher did it! It would make a good contest to find out who has the bigger ego, Dennis or di Montezemelo (did I spell that right?). Who cares?

Kimi got a great start. I don't understand why he left the inside line as open as he did. He started on the inside line and clearly smoked Hamilton off the start. He was just told by the team that he had to bunch the field up so Massacre could improve a few spots.

Couldn't agree with starwindwalker more. Remember this is at least the 3rd time LH has "cheated" KR: Montreal, Spa, and now Japan. KR would have come out ahead at Montreal, and KR simply held his line at Spa.

I simply hate LH. he is truely an idiot. his driving is reckless. He thinks that as long as he passes anyone he doesn't care about anything else. He is a horrible driver.
