Brazilian Grand Prix - Nov 25

Vettel became the youngest triple champion in history after a thrilling race at Interlagos. The German overcame a disastrous start to finish sixth behind the victorious Jenson Button. Vettel suffered an opening lap collision but fought back to pip Alonso by three points after the Spanish two-time champion finished second with a courageous drive for Ferrari.

The race was littered with accidents and incidents and ended behind a Safety Car with Vettel bringing his car home in the rain in tears.

Vettel became only the third driver in Formula One history to win three successive titles, equalling the feats of the great Argentine Juan Manuel Fangio and his own childhood idol Michael Schumacher, who finished seventh for Mercedes in his final race before retiring.

Final season standings: Vettel 281, Alonso 278, Raikkonen 207 less
