Race Notes

Fernando Alonso brings back old success as order is throughout in Oyama.

Two-time F1 champ Alonso wins his 2nd consecutive race, finding his way through the chaos as most title contenders duel themselves out of the top positions. Alonso's Renault leads the podium, followed by BMW Sauber's Robert Kubica and Ferrari's Kimi Raikkonen. Kubica does pull within 12 points of the driver's chase with 2 races remaining.

Meanwhile, the series leader finishes out of the points, and Ferrari's Felipe Massa has to fight back from two dicey near-misses to finish in 7th place, collecting 2 points.
