//strong/p pWildcards. That's what racing fans want, isn't it? Yet so many seasons in the recent
history of grand prix racing have been down to just a handful of drivers - just one or two, in many
cases - contending for race victories and ultimately the championship. Last year's four-way
face-off between Kimi Raikkonnen, Felipe Massa, Lewis Hamilton and Fernando Alonso put the racing
world on notice. But even that free-for-all is paling by comparison to this season, with no fewer
than seven drivers (Hamilton, Raikkonen, Massa, BMW's Robert Kubica, McLaren's number two Heikki
Kovalainen, double world champion Fernando Alonso and even perennial back-marker Toro Rosso's
Sebastian Vettel) taking turns on the top step of the podium, turning the 2008 FIA Formula One
World Championship into a heated battle the likes of which we haven't seen for a long time. This
weekend's Japanese Grand Prix was no exception. And if you don't have it recorded for future
enjoyment, follow the jump to read why./p pdiv class="postgallery"pstrongGallery: a
