Following a high speed crash at turn 5 at this weekends Japanese Grand Prix, reigning world champion Fernando Alonso is now waiting for a miracle to win this years world drivers championship. Fernando is now 12 points behind the current championship leader Lewis Hamilton, who spectacularly won today's grand prix ahead of Renault driver Heikki Kovalainen.

Fernando now needs to beat Lewis by six points on average in the remaining two races, one of which will take place next weekend at Shanghai in China, which will be a Ferrari dominated track.

"I'm not throwing in the towel, but unless there is a retirement from Hamilton we have to be realistic and see that it's very hard to recover six points per race," Fernando told reporters in Japan.

We only need to race and wait for a miracle, a retirement from our rival, so maybe I can race more relaxed now," He added

Lewis meanwhile could become the youngest world champion in F1 history this time next Sunday.
