Lewis Hamilton sparks a showdown with his race rivalsLondon, Oct. 5  : Lewis Hamilton faces a confrontation with jealous rivals in Suzuka over his driving tactics this season.

F1 racers have called a special meeting before Sunday''''s Japanese Grand Prix with FIA race director Charlie Whiting.

Hamilton has been involved in a string of incidents this year, including Monaco where he was penalised twice, Hungary, Belgium, Canada and last weekend in Singapore he clashed with Felipe Massa in qualifying and the race.

But after he was penalised for the Ferrari clash, it emerged Massa was radioed by the team to "destroy" Hamilton''''s race.
