Seb, youngest triple F1 champion!!!
Sebastian Vettel clinched his third successive drivers' championship after an utterly absorbing final race in Brazil, his sixth-place finish enough to prevent Fernando Alonso, who came home second behind Jenson Button, from overhauling him.
In a superb afternoon where fortunes ebbed and flowed on almost every lap, Vettel's hopes appeared to be dashed within seconds of the start when he collided with Bruno Senna, spun and was left at the back of the field. But he battled through, never getting ahead of Alonso but always close enough that the 13-point cushion he brought to Interlagos was going to be sufficient.Brazilian Grand Prix, Interlagos 71 laps, 305.909km.
