Lewis Hamilton is edging nearer to a fifth world title after victory in the Japanese Grand Prix.

Championship rival Sebastian Vettel could only finish sixth after dropping to the back following an early collision when attempting to overtake Max Verstappen.

Hamilton now has a 67-point lead meaning even if Vettel wins all four races, the British driver can finish fifth in each grand prix and still be champion.
