Description

The 2009 Japanese Grand Prix was completely dominated by Red Bull Racing's Sebastian Vettel, who won the race from pole position and led every single lap. Held on 4 October 2009 at the iconic Suzuka Circuit, the race served as the 15th round of the 17-race Formula One season. Vettel's flawless victory kept his slim World Championship hopes alive against Brawn GP's Jenson Button.
Vettel was joined on the podium by Toyota's Jarno Trulli, who secured a critical second-place finish for the home team, and defending world champion Lewis Hamilton in third for McLaren. This race holds a historic note as the final F1 podium finish for both Jarno Trulli and the original Toyota factory team.
