F1: Brazil Grand Prix (Old Points System) Race 18
November 08, 2010
Sebastian Vettel led home team-mate Mark Webber for a Red Bull 1-2 as their team wrapped up the constructers' championship (well, not with the old points system, as they are still 17 points ahead!) at the Brazilian Grand Prix.
More importantly for the drivers, it keeps both of their title hopes very much alive heading to the season-ending Abu Dhabi Grand Prix with Fernando Alonso finishing third ahead of Lewis Hamilton.
The result means that Alonso leads Webber by only 3 points with Vettel a further 2 behind his team-mate. Lewis Hamilton, who finished fourth, is now very much an outsider for the title as he is now 7 points behind Alonso. But Jenson Button's championship challenge is over after he finished fifth and dropped to 17 points off Alonso.
