Quick, blink your eyes. Now, blink again. That's essentially how fast the fortunes have changed in favor for Vettel since Belgian GP. Other than the untimely retirement at Italian GP, Vettel has been superbly fast in his Red Bull, so fast that Vettel is now 4 points behind Alonso after the Japanese GP.

On March 11th this year, a devastating earthquake shook Japan, displacing thousands and leaving a permanent mark on Japan. The recovery process has been long underway, but much work remains and many residents have still yet to return to their homes and start rebuilding.
With the Japanese Grand Prix this weekend, the Formula 1 community is stepping up their efforts to aid Japan. HRT driver Viantonio Liuzzi will be racing tomorrow in a special edition helmet to be auctioned off, and McLaren Drivers Jenson Button and Lewis Hamilton will be donating similar custom designed racewear worn during the race.
