SHANGHAI, China (AP) -- Lewis Hamilton is being investigated by Formula One's governing body for his role in an accident during last week's victory at the Japanese Grand Prix.

The organization says it is looking into "new evidence" concerning Hamilton's driving behind the safety car in the rain-soaked race at the Fuji Speedway. The F1 rookie is said to have sped up and slowed down, causing two cars behind him to collide.

A number of cars were trying to keep the heat up in their tires by accelerating and slowing or swerving from side to side.

The win extended Hamilton's lead in the drivers' standings to 12 points over McLaren teammate Fernando Alonso.
