77 points advantage, 5 more races to go, 125 points left to play.
WDC will be crowned if Alonso score 2 or less points in Japan and the german wins
i think most likely it will be settled in India.

WCC
118 points advantage, 5 more races to go, 215 points to play
WCC will most likely be crowned at Abu Dhabi or later.
Merc could actually leapfrog Ferrari to finish 2nd in constructor and for RBR, this could be the first time WDC will be won before WCC

Lots of fours today.
thirtyFOURth win, FOURth consecutive victory, FOURth grand slam (and only the 3rd driver in history to do consecutive grand slams).

He didn't do a Grand Slam. Webber led a lap after Vettel pitted for the first time.

EDIT: I take it back. Apparently, Vettel led every lap. Webber did get into 2nd place during Vettel's first pit stop.

If Vettel doesn't win WDC in Suzuka then I am definately going to Indian GP with a drum of Redbull cans :D (hoping that it won't be a 1 stop this time).

Any 4th person on the street could win the title in that car...

Grand Slams (well, laps lead in general), are counted at the finish line of every lap. Webber overtake Vettel in the pits, but after the finishing line, and Vettel re-overtook Webber in the pits, but before the finishing line.

I always thought grand slam was, pole win, fastest lap.

Nope has to lead every lap as well,

A Grand Slam (from the French term Grand Chelem) in Formula 1 auto racing occurs when a driver (1) wins a race (2) from pole position (3) having led every lap of the race (4) and having achieved the race's fastest recorded lap time.

RBR might be about to seal both WCC/WDC in India,

WDC, 90 points advantage, 100 points left to play.
WCC, 148 points advantage, 172 points left to play.
