Lewis Hamilton claims his Formula One World Championship rival Felipe Massa "deliberately" crashed into him in the Japanese Grand Prix.

The British driver's championship lead shrunk to five points, with two races left, after his collision with Massa on Sunday.

Hamilton, who eventually finished out of the points in 12th behind race winner Fernando Alonso, said: "He (Massa) outbraked me, so I didn't get past him on the way in. I did the corner normally, and he came back very aggressively and hit me. I think that was pretty much as deliberate as can be."
