The last race of the year, and as usual Brazil never fails to deliver an exciting title finale. So how did everyone go this round? The rain threw quite a few curve balls this round with Vettel almost retiring on the first lap but saved many points by getting back inside the top 10. The Williams double retirement, along with Perez and Grosjeans off hurt many as well did Hamiltons tangle with Hulkenberg for the lead and Di Resta's last lap crash. However on the plus side the majority of the top players stayed in the top 10 to the end saving everyone from a substandard score.
Now onto the final podium of the season
In third we have a tie, both on 117 points and sharing the "Fearless Felipe" Trophy goes too...
