The '''2008 Japanese Grand Prix''' is the sixteenth race of the [[2008 Formula One season]]. It will be held on 12 October at the recently revised [[Fuji Speedway]], [[Oyama, Shizuoka]]. For 20 years the Japanese Grand Prix was held at [[Suzuka Circuit|Suzuka]], but in 2007 it returned to Fuji for the first time since [[1977 Japanese Grand Prix|1977]].

In [[2007 Japanese Grand Prix|2007]], the Pole position, the fastest lap and the race itself were all won by [[Lewis Hamilton]], who extended his lead in the championship to 12 points with 2 races remaining. [[Fernando Alonso]] won the [[2006 Japanese Grand Prix|2006 race]], almost guaranteeing him the World Championship for that year.

Two other 2008 drivers have won the [[Japanese Grand Prix]]. [[Kimi Räikkönen]] won the [[2005 Japanese Grand Prix|2005]] event driving for [[McLaren]], while [[Rubens Barrichello]] won in [[2003 Japanese Grand Prix|2003]] to secure team-mate [[Michael Schumacher]] the World Title.

The World Championship has been won several times in [[Japan]], with winners [[James Hunt]] at the [[1976 Japanese Grand Prix]]; [[Nelson Piquet]] in [[1987 Japanese Grand Prix|1987]]; [[Ayrton Senna]] in [[1988 Japanese Grand Prix|1988]], [[1990 Japanese Grand Prix|1990]] and [[1991 Japanese Grand Prix|1991]]; [[Alain Prost]] in [[1989 Japanese Grand Prix|1989]]; [[Damon Hill]] in [[1996 Japanese Grand Prix|1996]]; [[Mika Häkkinen]] in [[1998 Japanese Grand Prix|1998]] and [[1999 Japanese Grand Prix|1999]]; and Michael Schumacher in [[2000 Japanese Grand Prix|2000]] and 2003.

The Grand Prix will see the debut of Bridgestone's Green Striped grooved tyres as part of the FIA's [[Make Cars Green]] campaign, an initiative demonstrating that Formula One’s teams and partners are backing the Make Cars Green campaign’s goal to reduce the impact of motoring on the environment.

==Report==
===Practice===
The first practice session saw [[McLaren]]'s [[Lewis Hamilton]] take the fastest lap with a 1:18.91, beating Brazilian title hope [[Felipe Massa]] by 0.153s. 3rd was Hamilton's teammate [[Heikki Kovalainen]] who finished 3rd in 2007 to get his first ever podium. [[Kimi Raikkonen]] rounded out the top 4, the [[Scuderia Ferrari]] driver looking to keep his title hopes alive by hopefully winning the race and hoping Massa and Hamilton did not score points. The top 8 was finished by [[Fernando Alonso]], [[Nelson Piquet Jr.]], [[Sebastian Vettel]], and Polish driver [[Robert Kubica]]. The 2nd practice threw up a surprise, with [[Toyota]]'s [[Timo Glock]] grabbing the fastest lap, ahead of Alonso.
