About 2014 Japanese Grand Prix in brief
The 2014 Japanese Grand Prix was a Formula One motor race held on 5 October 2014 at the Suzuka Circuit in Suzuka, Mie. It was the 15th of the 19 races of the 2014 FIA Formula One World Championship, and the 30th running of the event as part of the F1 World Championship. Mercedes driver Lewis Hamilton won the race, his eighth victory of the season. His teammate, Nico Rosberg, finished second and Red Bull Racing driver Sebastian Vettel came in third. The race was brought to an end on the 46th lap after an accident involving Jules Bianchi. Bianchi lost control of his Marussia at the Dunlop Curve and collided with a tractor crane that was tending to Adrian Sutil’s Sauber, which had spun off on the previous lap. The accident prompted Formula One’s governing body, the Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile, to investigate the incident with a ten-person panel in which it was determined there was no single cause that prompted the crash. Hamilton increased his lead in the World Drivers’ Championship to ten points over Rosberg. Mercedes extended their advantage over Red Bull in the Constructors’ Championship. Williams remained ahead of Ferrari in the battle for third place with four races left in the season, while Red Bull remained in second place with Fernando Alonso in third and Fernando Alonso fourth. Red Bull had to outscore Red Bull by 41 points to clinch the constructors’ title in Japan.

Tyre supplier Pirelli brought four types of tyre to the race: two dry compounds and two wet-weather compounds. The drag reduction system had one activation zone, on the straight linking the final and first corners, for the race. The event’s official name was the 2014 Formula 1 Japanese Grand prix, and it was scheduled to run for 53 laps. The track was covered in heavy rain from Typhoon Phanfone, which was forecast to make landfall over the eastern coast on the day of the race with heavy rain and winds of up to 240kmh.
