The entire nation breathed a sigh of relief today when it emerged that Lewis Hamilton would not be deducted points after an allegation of erratic driving at the Japanese Grand Prix. Now the 22 year old star from Hertfordshire is on the verge of capturing the Formula 1 driver's championship at the first time of asking. It would be a truly astonishing feat and one that will go down in racing history as one of the most impressive.  Today's ruling leaves Hamilton 12-points ahead of his McLaren team-mate Fernando Alonso with just two races to go. The first of those takes place this weekend in Shanghai, China on Sunday.
