Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The 2009 Japanese Grand Prix (formally the XXXV Fuji Television Japanese Grand Prix) was the fifteenth round of the 2009 Formula One Season. The race was held at the Suzuka Circuit on October 4, 2009. Sebastian Vettel of Red Bull won the race ahead of Toyota's Jarno Trulli and 2008 World Champion Lewis Hamilton in a dominant fashion, leading through the whole race. With two races remaining in the 2009 season, Vettel's win maintained his slim hopes of winning the Drivers Championship, with Championship leader Jenson Button finishing eighth, one place behind Rubens Barrichello. The result left Button and Barrichello's Brawn team one point away from clinching the Constructors Championship.
