SPORT In Brief: F1 showdown

Evening Chronicle (Newcastle, England), Oct 20, 2008

FORMULA ONE: Lewis Hamilton had no qualms about Ferrari's 'stunt' which set up a world-title showdown in Brazil for the second successive season.

Hamilton won yesterday's Chinese Grand Prix and now heads to Felipe Massa's Sao Paulo backyard with a sevenpoint cushion over the Brazilian, and with one hand firmly on the championship trophy.

But that gap could have been bigger had Kimi Raikkonen not eased up on lap 49 of the 56-lap race to allow team-mate Massa by to take the runner-up spot.

"They're a team," said Hamilton when asked about the manoeuvre.
