F1 - Sixth Was Still Good Enough

F1 - Sixth Was Still Good Enough

Author: Tomas Yoko
Date: 2012-11-29
Even after suffer a 180 degree spin out after being bumped by Bruno Senna, Sebastian Vettel managed to finish in sixth place in the thrilling Brazil Grand Prix, the final race in a season filled with excitement and one of the least predictable seasons in decades.

The winner of the day, Jenson Button drove like only he can to take the chequered flag, followed in second and third place by Ferraris team of Fernando Alonso and Felipe Massa respectively.

However Vettel's comeback from the unfortunate incident at turn four in the opening lap proved that this triple World Champion deserves the title. His team mate Mark Webber added to the team's points with his 4th place followed by Nico Hulkenberg in a Force India in fifth.

It was a fitting finish to Michael Schumacher's career that he should end his last race with some points, and his fellow countryman, Sebastian Vettel, seemed to make his day by winning the driver's championship. This clinched both driver's and constructors for the formidable Red Bull Team.

Once again it was down to tyre management with rain soaking the track and forcing some calculated tyre decisions from the teams. For tyre decisions on your vehicle, contact Fuzail from Hi-Q Stanger and he will gladly give you his expert advice.

Until next year on the 17th of March in Melbourne we bid farewell to the Formula One Season.
