Lewis Hamilton investigated for Japanese Grand Prix win
Lewis Hamilton's win in Sunday's Japanese Grand Prix is under investigation after complaints were made about his erratic driving by Red Bull's Mark Webber.
Mark Webber, who was behind Lewis Hamilton in the race said that Lewis Hamilton made a "bad job" behind the safety car.
UK Formula One driver Lewis Hamilton's win at Fuji gave him a 12-point lead, which means he is within reach of winning the world championship, however, if he is found guilty as charged by Mark Webber, he could lose his points.
Mark Webber was knocked out of the race by Toro Rosso's Sebastian Vettel, while the two drivers were following Lewis Hamilton, who he claims braked excessively while they were all following the safety car on lap 45.
At one point Mark Webber almost overtook Lewis Hamilton as he slowed and moved to the right whilst following the safety car.
F1 rules say that: "Once behind the safety car, the race leader must keep within five car lengths of it."
The evidence of Lewis Hamilton's bad driving is said to be on footage filmed from the grandstands and which appeared on the YouTube website.
