Formula 1: The GP in Japan on Sunday

This victory will not only stay in Lewis Hamilton’s memory - and not in a good way! His 70th Grand Prix victory unfortunately had a more than bitter aftertaste, because it was given to him and because a thoroughbred racer like Hamilton actually does not want "alms". The Formula One officials would certainly be well advised if they finally changed the regulations again in the name of the sport and outlaw both stall orders, as well as instructions to the drivers over the radio. Jens Hoffmeister reports.
