A LINGERING feud between McLaren driver Lewis Hamilton and Ferrari's Felipe Massa is providing an interesting subplot to this weekend's Japanese Grand Prix, in which Sebastian Vettel should wrap up back-to-back Formula One titles.
The Red Bull driver needs just one point in Sunday's race - or McLaren's Jenson Button to fail to win - to become the sport's youngest two-title winner. Given that Vettel has not finished below fourth in any race this season the odds of him clinching the crown at Suzuka are overwhelmingly in his favor.
Meanwhile, 2009 world champion Jenson Button has signed a new multi-year contract with McLaren, the Formula One team announced yesterday. No other details were given about the deal.
