  4. Chequered flag

    Lewis Hamilton wins the Japanese Grand Prix.

    Williams: It's raining harder now....

  17. Lap 42

    The rain is really coming down now - and Jenson Button has decided to pit for the full wets. Will this be another inspired move? He rejoins in fifth place - so he hasn't lost any places. Smart thinking.

  18. David Coulthard
    BBC F1 co-commentator

    "Historically it takes a car to go flying off the track to use the safety car."

  19. Lap 41

    Jenson Button is showing that he still knows a thing or two about racing, the Briton taking a wide line through the hairpin to stave off another Daniel Ricciardo attack. The rain is getting heavier. Kevin Magnussen pits and chooses the full wets.

  20. Team radio

    Lewis Hamilton: "It's raining more, it's getting heavier and heavier."
