2015 Japanese Grand Prix

Starting from grid position two Lewis Hamilton made a fine get away at the start pulling alongside his pole starting teammate Nico Rosberg as the Mercedes duo entered Turn 1. Holding the inside line through Turn 2 Lewis – in a firm but entirely fair move –  squeezed the German to the outside of the circuit and took the lead.

Less than 90 minutes later and the Englishman stood atop the Suzuka podium for the forty second second time in his Formula 1 career.

Finishing second, Rosberg cut a dejected figure as he agian lost out to his double world champion rival. Ferrari team leader Sebastian Vettel came home third enabling him to stay in touch with the Mercedes pair in the fight for title honours.
