SUZUKA, Japan (AP) " Mercedes driver Nico Rosberg capitalized on a slow start by teammate Lewis Hamilton to win the Japanese Grand Prix on Sunday and widen his lead in the Formula One drivers' championship. With four races remaining Rosberg holds a 33-point lead over Hamilton. Desperately needing as many points as possible in the championship race, Hamilton attempted a bold passing move on Verstappen on the penultimate lap. "He is fighting for the world championship so you are not going to do anything crazy things of course." Every driver finished the race, only the seventh time in 952 world championship races that has happened.
