Is Leaving Brazil, there will be some emotions clearly, I have put a

:01:17.:01:23.

long time into this, and a long time to get there. Last day at the

:01:24.:01:32.

office. In Formula One. Got to try to treat it like another race. I

:01:33.:01:36.

think definitely different emotions this morning. It starts to hit a

:01:37.:01:41.

little bit that, yeah, it is the last time you will be doing this as

:01:42.:01:45.

an F one driver, that is fine, that is good. What I want is basically,

:01:46.:01:51.

it is not a sad moment but a proud moment. It is just emotions that you

:01:52.:01:57.

have to accept that you have got to be able to let go. The messages I

:01:58.:02:21.

have, have just been completely overwhelming, I can't believe, yeah.

:02:22.:02:26.

The amount of people that enjoyed watching me race. Welcome to the

:02:27.:02:30.

final day in school, how do you feel? Very good, ready to go and see

:02:31.:02:35.

how we go. Is it possible to win? Of course. You don't want to test that,

:02:36.:02:46.

really, he's lost it and you's not good enough. Over one lap that I

:02:47.:02:53.

think obviously I have lost probably a little bit of speed. That will

:02:54.:02:57.

happen, I'm not as fast as I was when I was 25. I think I raced hard

:02:58.:03:05.

and fair, I generally liked it, didn't give up my positions easy.

:03:06.:03:14.

Pretty consistent in terms of no real, maybe superweaknesses or

:03:15.:03:19.

superstrengths, just generally pretty solid as a top-flight Formula

:03:20.:03:25.

One driver. Yeah, I'm very proud, I think I have been dealt a very good

:03:26.:03:29.

hand. A lot of races, some very big highlights obviously. I will

:03:30.:03:36.

certainly remember where I started and where I have come from. I never

:03:37.:03:39.

envisaged I would have the career I had. P it is Mark's last day, and

:03:40.:03:49.

many thanks for him for allowing us to be part of his journey as a

:03:50.:03:54.

Formula One driverment welcome to Brazil. The final countdown and the

:03:55.:03:59.

last time we will see Felipe Massa in a Ferrari as well.

:04:00.:04:30.

story of qualifying. By the end of it,

:04:31.:05:13.

The Ferrari of Fernando Alonso seemed to enjoy the tricky

:05:14.:05:19.

conditions, and he equalled his best qualifying performance of the season

:05:20.:05:23.

with third. Mercedes had been quick all weekend, Hamilton was fasters 0

:05:24.:05:28.

on the intermediates in Q 1, but on Q 3 he was fifth. Nico Rosberg was

:05:29.:05:36.

second, six tenths from home. Sebastian Vettel claimed pole

:05:37.:05:40.

position, come rain for shine's the man to beat.

:05:41.:05:45.

Vettel is the man with the clear view, taking pole position. Rosberg

:05:46.:05:47.

over his Lights out and away we go. Vettel

:05:48.:06:42.

and Rosberg go together, Alonso sneaking up the outside, but it is

:06:43.:06:45.

Rosberg and Hamilton who make as good start, Rosberg leads, Vettel

:06:46.:06:49.

into second. Then Hamilton, Alonso in third place, Massa making up

:06:50.:06:54.

ground as well. He just drops in behind Mark Webber, but a very good

:06:55.:06:58.

start by Rosberg. He hooked it up and got the perfect STAFRMENT you

:06:59.:07:02.

saw that Sebastian Vettel had to go defensive for Fernando Alonso. That

:07:03.:07:05.

just allowed a clear run for Rosberg all the way up the inside. It all

:07:06.:07:10.

looks clean so far. This is where we saw Vettel get spun round earlier.

:07:11.:07:29.

This is the top four at the moment. They accelerate in the inlegaled

:07:30.:07:36.

section. Hamilton, look how he's on the grass turning in. He was

:07:37.:07:40.

surprised how early Hamilton rolled out of the break. He had to go wider

:07:41.:07:45.

as he entered the turn. Vettel is getting himself into position, no

:07:46.:07:50.

DRS, I suspect he won't have any cares left over after the start as

:07:51.:07:54.

well. Rosberg vulnerable. Here comes Vettel on the charge. No

:07:55.:07:59.

DRS on the opening lap, not allowed on the first lap. Vettel doesn't

:08:00.:08:03.

cautious he blasts past Nico Rosberg, on the outside, has he got

:08:04.:08:07.

the line into the corner, yes, Alonso and Hamilton side-by-side

:08:08.:08:13.

into the turn. Hamilton is into third.

:08:14.:08:41.

Hamilton has got through into fourth. No sign of lack of

:08:42.:08:47.

commitment from Mark Webber in his last Grand Prix. Extremely fair for

:08:48.:08:51.

Hamilton, he left him enough space and did the sensible thing as Mark

:08:52.:08:54.

showed his commitment around the outside in seven.

:08:55.:09:10.

Heikki Kovalainen started 11st but down in 15th place, Di Resta down in

:09:11.:09:18.

17th as well. Not a good first lap for him. Look who leads, it is

:09:19.:09:20.

Sebastian Vettel already beginning to open up the advantage.

:09:21.:09:39.

Jenson Button locked up in turn one, he needs to watch out he doesn't end

:09:40.:09:46.

up with flat spot. Rosberg has to go defensive into turn four with

:09:47.:09:50.

Alonso. DRS is enabled. Clearly the gap is less than a second. Alonso

:09:51.:09:55.

will be in position to try to affect a pass as we get across

:09:56.:09:58.

start-finish. Can he chase after him Sebastian

:09:59.:11:11.

Vettel, has he the pace in dry conditions. All the teams are

:11:12.:11:14.

learning, seeing how the cars react and the tyres react, Mark Webber

:11:15.:11:21.

closing on Nico Rosberg, DRS has been reenabled, it has according to

:11:22.:11:27.

the information. Grosjean has pulled off to the side of the track,

:11:28.:11:30.

promoting Hulkenberg to seventh. You can see unusually for Vettel at

:11:31.:11:47.

the start he bogs down, that allows Alonso to come up to the right. He

:11:48.:11:51.

defends that. Meanwhile Rosberg had a completely clear run, all the way

:11:52.:11:55.

into turn one. We have seen contact through the first section in

:11:56.:11:59.

previous races, everyone keeping it sensible. I suspect if this was the

:12:00.:12:02.

first race of the year it might be some what different. 19 race starts

:12:03.:12:06.

behind them. You can see Kovalainen in the back just get absolutely

:12:07.:12:14.

swamped as he goes off the line. All those sensible people at the front

:12:15.:12:19.

finding that I way and giving space where necessary. Kovalainen was

:12:20.:12:22.

swamped, stationary. This is Alonso's start from on board. He

:12:23.:12:40.

short Fifty Shrifted across. After the race we will hear about that,

:12:41.:12:48.

just listen... Just seemed to judder and bog down, whatever the cause of

:12:49.:12:54.

that was, it didn't sound like a lot of wheel.

:12:55.:13:09.

Mark Webber is sneaked up on but he has the line as they go through

:13:10.:13:15.

four. Webber has got further in his last race than you did. He's well

:13:16.:14:06.

into this one running Rosberg will have to keep his eye on his

:14:07.:14:10.

team-mate. Lewis Hamilton not far behind him at all. Massa in the

:14:11.:14:16.

background too. Rosberg having to fight pretty hard. If the conditions

:14:17.:14:19.

stay dry, I would say Alonso has it very, very effective in his race

:14:20.:14:25.

car. Two main overtaking parts. Into turn one and turn four. Long straits

:14:26.:14:34.

leading into those turns. Alonso's straight qualifying speed was faster

:14:35.:14:38.

than Vettel. This is Romain Grosjean sprinting his way back to the

:14:39.:14:43.

pitlane, having abandoned his car, a very sad way to end his season a

:14:44.:14:47.

strong end to the seen in terms of his driving ability. Sadly it is not

:14:48.:14:51.

to be. Lotus will not be able to challenge for that third or fourth

:14:52.:14:55.

place in the constructor's championship. Kovalainen still down

:14:56.:14:58.

the field. In 17th position. I wonder if he has any chance of

:14:59.:15:02.

scoring points here today. On board with Lewis Hamilton, slightly

:15:03.:15:07.

different crash helmet for Brazil, celebrating the colours. He's

:15:08.:15:11.

closing on his team-mate here. Nico Rosberg up towards the first corner.

:15:12.:15:14.

Not quite close enough to challenge there. A little lock-up. As he ran

:15:15.:15:21.

in coming off the back of his team-mate, he lost more than the

:15:22.:15:29.

front wheel. Graining is where the surface of the tyre is disrupted By

:15:30.:15:39.

the track surface. We haven't seen the surface before. Graining it one

:15:40.:15:45.

of the limiting factors. A radio message relaying to Mark Webber

:15:46.:15:49.

saying a reminder to enjoy it. He is enjoy t he's a podium position.

:15:50.:15:56.

Grosjean not enjoying it, trudging back to the Lotus pit. This is

:15:57.:16:00.

Adrian Sutil a moment ago, Sutton versus Guthrie, he has been driving

:16:01.:16:06.

well in these lap, he has got himself into -- Adrian Sutil versus

:16:07.:16:10.

Esteban Gutierrez, driving well in these laps. Showing's not at all

:16:11.:16:15.

happy with the movement from that McLaren. Jenson Button making the

:16:16.:16:23.

pass there, it was a DRS pass, coming out of turn three.

:16:24.:16:46.

Rosberg has kept his tyres better, into the puts has come Jean-Eric

:16:47.:16:56.

Vergne, this is early. Lap 11 could be turning this into a three-stop

:16:57.:17:01.

race. He's going on to the harder tyre. Two stops is a few seconds

:17:02.:17:06.

quicker than three in an ideal world, which we don't live. They

:17:07.:17:12.

look like they are going like that this afternoon. Let's see how far

:17:13.:17:15.

the race leaders will go, that will give us a good indication what they

:17:16.:17:19.

are planning. We would think they will get up towards the 20, and

:17:20.:17:22.

maybe lap 16 is the beginning of a window for a two-stop race. The

:17:23.:17:27.

track will change and you may see longer stints in the second part of

:17:28.:17:30.

the race. We have to keep an eye on that. Alonso versus Webber, this is

:17:31.:17:35.

for second place, remember. As Sebastian Vettel is continuing to

:17:36.:17:38.

open his advantage. It is up to 9. 1 seconds. Webber was not close

:17:39.:17:43.

enough. Watching the graphics to show if they are using their battery

:17:44.:17:48.

power. On board with Mark Webber, he has DRS, that means less drag. Is he

:17:49.:17:54.

using his battery curb power? Not at the moment. He will use that out of

:17:55.:17:59.

turn 12, that will give him a boost up the hill into the DRS zone across

:18:00.:18:03.

the start-finish line. We saw exactly that from Vettel in

:18:04.:18:08.

qualifying, a large part of that was he couldn't get full power in a lot

:18:09.:18:12.

of places in the damp conditions. Both Mark and Alonso looking like

:18:13.:18:21.

Alonso stragically using his KR SFOR defence and Mark for defence.

:18:22.:18:24.

They have both done exactly the same number of Grand Prix, 214 Grand Prix

:18:25.:18:29.

coming into this, and no further action on the incident dean Perez

:18:30.:18:40.

and Di Resta earlier on in the race. Vettel leading from Alonso and

:18:41.:18:47.

Webber. Webber goes into second position.

:18:48.:19:01.

Alonso had no answer for that. You could see that early on that he had

:19:02.:19:06.

a great exit. Alonso was a little wide through 12, and the consequence

:19:07.:19:10.

of that is such a short apex corner that he was just a bit later getting

:19:11.:19:14.

on the throttle, and Mark was able to use that momentum, it is quite a

:19:15.:19:19.

climb out of 12 up over the hill through the kink and down across the

:19:20.:19:22.

start-finish line. This is how Webber got past Alonso.

:19:23.:19:57.

Straight forward DRS pass, we will see that, Alonso doesn't make it

:19:58.:20:03.

difficult for his old buddy. Not really friends to show themselves on

:20:04.:20:08.

the race track. A great deal of respect for him he went defensive

:20:09.:20:13.

and wide on the exit of turn four. Perez manages to keep it together

:20:14.:20:16.

through five. That is where he crashed in qualifying. Seeing a

:20:17.:20:19.

message as we see the tyre, bits of rubber being thrown up in the air as

:20:20.:20:24.

they go up on the concern. Look at the wobble on the front tyre. This

:20:25.:20:31.

is Button on the inside but Hulkenberg carries more speed

:20:32.:20:37.

through outside line. What will happen on the corner, here comes

:20:38.:20:41.

Button on the inside, he has the momentum and will take the place.

:20:42.:20:46.

Button into 7th. He was in momentum and DRS. Some radio messages to

:20:47.:20:53.

Rosberg, he's asking why he's struggling with the rear tyres and

:20:54.:20:56.

what is the areobalance on the second car. That is surprising he

:20:57.:21:01.

doesn't know the set up on the other car in the Grand Prix. Ricciardo

:21:02.:21:06.

coming in, that will hand the place to perperks slightly earlier than

:21:07.:21:10.

they would have wished. But they were losing performance, so time to

:21:11.:21:14.

change the tyres. Look at that, Massa gets past rows ruchings that

:21:15.:21:17.

puts Massa into fifth place. We need to stay out for a minute,

:21:18.:21:41.

there is a risk of showers. We are hearing that from a couple of teams,

:21:42.:21:47.

Chilcot has been told to watch for showers, Rosberg told to watch out

:21:48.:21:50.

for showers. Rosberg left the door open, it was late. I suspect that

:21:51.:21:56.

Massa wasn't entirely convinced as he hit the brakes into the turn that

:21:57.:22:01.

he could do the pass. Look at the marker boards, 150. It was late in

:22:02.:22:05.

the braking zone that Rosberg pulled over and let him go.

:22:06.:22:18.

Veg veg is still there and he takes the place back, he as going to lose

:22:19.:22:24.

another place. He looked unsure where to put the

:22:25.:22:43.

car. Sebastian there is a few spots of

:22:44.:22:46.

rain in the air, we don't think it is serious at the moment, we are

:22:47.:22:49.

sticking to plan. A few spots of rain, he had a look up the inside.

:22:50.:22:53.

Now this is an opportunity, as we see, Massa has been in and pitted,

:22:54.:22:59.

Perez has come in for McLaren. The first of the big boys, Ferrari there

:23:00.:23:02.

making the stop. Jean-Eric Vergne is going to have a

:23:03.:23:30.

going back at him as they go down the straight. He's got a chance on

:23:31.:23:33.

the outside, Kovalainen should be able to fend him off the inside,

:23:34.:23:37.

traffic ahead. Just to complicated the issue. Final low Kovalainen

:23:38.:23:42.

should be safe. He's the one and only Lotus still in the race. We

:23:43.:23:48.

lost Grosjean a while ago, stopped the only retirement of the race and

:23:49.:23:52.

he's talking to me. A disappointing way to end the

:23:53.:23:56.

season, what happened out there? I don't know, I don't kn exactly what

:23:57.:24:01.

happened, I just saw a lot of smoke and no more power. We they de sided

:24:02.:24:08.

to quit 70 laps too early. This is racing. Jenson Button gets past

:24:09.:24:18.

Daniel Ricciardo. It brings him into eighth place at this stage. Waiting

:24:19.:24:22.

for a few other front runners to make stops before getting restarted.

:24:23.:24:28.

Perez is at the back of the group. He's trying to close up to Pastor

:24:29.:24:34.

Maldonado. There is Button trying to get past Esteban Gutierrez. I don't

:24:35.:24:37.

think there is going to be a lot he can do. It just depends on how

:24:38.:24:43.

quickly Button can make the most of it. He has done it no problem at all

:24:44.:24:52.

on the fresh tyres. You need to trust the man you are passing that

:24:53.:24:56.

he won't let the car drift wide and touch you.

:24:57.:25:21.

De La Rosa into the -- Rosberg into the pits, not record-breaking

:25:22.:25:30.

territory, but fairly good. Hulkenberg going side-by-side with

:25:31.:25:38.

Maldonado, Egypt using -- again using that wide line. Rosberg

:25:39.:25:44.

rejoins. Interestingly Rosberg is out behind Button. So Button's

:25:45.:25:48.

progress continues. If you think that Nico Rosberg starred on the

:25:49.:25:51.

front row today, Jenson Button started all the way down in 15th,

:25:52.:25:56.

yet now a third of the way through the race and he's already got you

:25:57.:25:59.

past Nico Rosberg. It is a sign that the Mercedes is struggling but

:26:00.:26:03.

McLaren is going pretty well. Red Bull going out, this will be for

:26:04.:26:08.

Webber, Vettel is at the first corner, so Mark Webber is the first

:26:09.:26:14.

to link with the Red Bull guys. He was trading lap times and cited

:26:15.:26:18.

quicker than Sebastian Vettel, he brought the lap down. No, slow stop.

:26:19.:26:27.

Not a mammothly slow, but 5. 4 seconds. After the record they got

:26:28.:26:31.

of 1. 9 seconds it did feel like an age. Didn't it. Alonso has gone

:26:32.:26:37.

through. There he is. He will come out in front of Webber. He will have

:26:38.:26:43.

to do it all again. VRJT All that hard work to get past undone by the

:26:44.:26:50.

stop. Box, box, box. We have Red Bull put

:26:51.:27:11.

that mistake behind them, Sebastian Vettel will be coming in on this

:27:12.:27:15.

lap. Webber having dropped back is now in third place. Massa is still

:27:16.:27:22.

in fourth. Let's see if the Red Bull pitstop goes cleanly for his

:27:23.:27:27.

team-mate. Looking anxious as he comes in. That was OK, it Hall

:27:28.:28:26.

Milton won before in Brazil, snatching it off Massa. Despite

:28:27.:28:30.

Massa winning that day. Now we will see them racing against each other

:28:31.:28:34.

here in Massa's final race with Ferrari. A couple of pairings to

:28:35.:28:39.

keep an eye on. Alonso versus Webber, and Massa versus Hamilton.

:28:40.:28:43.

Jenson Button is catching a bit in sixth place. What went on here? It

:28:44.:28:49.

looked to me like it was the right rear, possibly, was still working,

:28:50.:28:55.

the left year gunman is off, the right rear gunman has an issue of

:28:56.:29:05.

some kind. A little slow reaction to the jack man pulling away at the

:29:06.:29:08.

front. So everyone has made a pitstop,

:29:09.:30:15.

let's run you through the order. Vettel leads as they come across the

:30:16.:30:22.

line they will see what the gap is. It is 10. 4 seconds. Alonso third,

:30:23.:30:29.

Massa in fourth chased by Hamilton. Now there is an incident involving

:30:30.:30:33.

mass upped investigation, crossing the He has got a drive-thru penalty,

:30:34.:31:15.

Massa marks a massive bearing for Ferrari on the constructor's

:31:16.:31:20.

championship. It pushes him down. What a disappointing way to go.

:31:21.:31:29.

Rules are rules but that sucks! That just, we're sometimes... Massa has a

:31:30.:31:37.

drive through, so don't challenge him. Hamilton can back off, wait for

:31:38.:31:43.

the opportunity and that really spoils the show for us, because

:31:44.:31:47.

really beginning to enjoy that. Massa has been driving well in the

:31:48.:31:52.

last few Grand Prixes, Hamilton trying to size him up for the pass.

:31:53.:31:57.

Now it is easy pickings, a drive through penalty that will cost him

:31:58.:32:02.

around 15-17 seconds here. That will certainly drop him way down the

:32:03.:32:08.

order. We should get it into the top ten. A couple of laps into which

:32:09.:32:13.

they will take it. He will come inbetween that, Perez and that

:32:14.:32:19.

Hulkenberg battle. That will keep him maybe 9th position. Will they

:32:20.:32:23.

leave him out as late as possible to make sure Hamilton doesn't gain the

:32:24.:32:27.

ground and it will hurt him to be there. You are not going to want to

:32:28.:32:31.

help the free run of Hamilton on to the front of Alonso, if we assume it

:32:32.:32:36.

has the pace to challenge the other Ferrari.

:32:37.:32:54.

Unfor the flatly we have a drive through penalty for crossing the

:32:55.:33:02.

white line. There you go. Can you take a penalty at the end of this

:33:03.:33:07.

lap. So pass through at the end of this lap. That is unbelievable,

:33:08.:33:14.

unbelievable, unbelievable. Unacceptable. A very unhappy Felipe

:33:15.:33:20.

Massa, on his home turf, you can understand why he would be

:33:21.:33:23.

complaining. I guess we will see him coming in beyond this lap. No we're

:33:24.:33:26.

not. He's staying out there. I wonder if he's staying out there on

:33:27.:33:31.

very much on purpose. On protest, I think. I wonder. Hamilton still

:33:32.:33:36.

hasn't been able to get past him, he's in fifth place, behind him, is

:33:37.:33:41.

this helping Button. It is a little bit, he's 8. 8 seconds behind them

:33:42.:33:48.

in sixth position. Rosberg is seventh, Perez eighth, Hulkenberg

:33:49.:33:54.

ninth and Ricciardo tenth. This is Williams against Williams. Pastor

:33:55.:34:00.

Maldonado, he's making the move down the inside, and they kept it clean,

:34:01.:34:04.

thankfully. We will take it on the view of this rotating camera.

:34:05.:34:15.

Rosberg and Perez in a fight for position for fifth place. Button

:34:16.:34:19.

going quickly having made his second pitstop already. Fastest in the

:34:20.:34:24.

middle section to anybody. The hard compound tyre goes on. Button is on

:34:25.:34:28.

the softer compound tyre. Rosberg he has gone on to the harder compound

:34:29.:34:33.

as well. Both on the same type of tyre, no change in relative

:34:34.:34:37.

position. Perez was wide there. He has lost ground as a result of it.

:34:38.:34:49.

He has got in front of Button. The battle on between the McLaren

:34:50.:35:32.

He's struggling on these tyres doing quite a lot of laps, look how much

:35:33.:35:39.

quicker he is out of the final Connor up through the hill through

:35:40.:35:43.

the sweeping curves that lead him on to the start-finish rate. This will

:35:44.:35:50.

be a relatively easy past, Di Resta goes to the inside and no problem

:35:51.:35:58.

for mass. -- Massa. He has to focus on trying to catch Perez. Can the

:35:59.:36:04.

Ferrari catch the McLaren up ahead of him. Let's remember that Chilcot

:36:05.:36:13.

is Max Chilton is still on for completing every race this year as a

:36:14.:36:17.

rookie driver and beating the record. He's still out there,

:36:18.:36:23.

running 21st and last, 14 seconds behind his team-mate, Jules Bianchi.

:36:24.:36:30.

We are on board for Vettel, this time it is De La Rosa going past

:36:31.:36:33.

him. It is a surprise, he clearly doesn't have the speed at the

:36:34.:36:38.

moment. It is Ricciardo gone past him. He is staying out there.

:36:39.:36:43.

Ricciardo was 69 last time around. 2 for race

:36:44.:36:54.

Bottas, Bottas. Absolutely, was there contact . Has there been

:36:55.:38:49.

contact? That is where it was. Hamilton of the car on the inside,

:38:50.:38:53.

they helped each other and that explains it. When I saw that,

:38:54.:38:59.

contact between the two, Lewis Hamilton's right rear tyre and

:39:00.:39:05.

Bottas's right rear tyre. Anybody at fault there. How would you read that

:39:06.:39:09.

one? You are not allowed to crowd a car off the circuit, there was

:39:10.:39:12.

plenty of room for Bottas off the white line, you could see Hamilton

:39:13.:39:17.

coming across to the right, through the braking. But whether you can say

:39:18.:39:21.

it was enough to warrant a penalty or not, we need to wait and see. I

:39:22.:39:29.

think he turned into me. Unsurprising what Bottas's opinion

:39:30.:39:33.

on that was. Was that my fault? I we don't quite understand it, but we

:39:34.:39:37.

are going to have to take it. Keep pushing as much as you can. The

:39:38.:39:44.

latter part of the season hasn't gone to plan as Hamilton calls in.

:39:45.:39:50.

This is what the stewards feel, he moved to the left, defended and

:39:51.:39:53.

coming back towards the right when the contact happened. There was

:39:54.:39:57.

still space on the outside of the circuit, so Bottas did have room to

:39:58.:40:10.

still keep moving, but any way. There is a damage on the suspension

:40:11.:40:15.

there for Pic, is that a consequence of the off, or is that the reason?

:40:16.:40:19.

That front wheel is bouncing in the air, I suspect that is rear

:40:20.:40:25.

suspension damage. He's not getting the car to a gap where the marshalls

:40:26.:40:31.

can see it easily. That is an uphill section. Well yeah, look it is

:40:32.:40:40.

suspension damage on that car. Something broken in the car.

:40:41.:40:46.

Something broke on the car. OK, understood.

:40:47.:41:15.

Maldonado spins to the rear, to bring the car back in lion, and

:41:16.:41:20.

there is Jenson Button, who is lapping him. Trying to get past,

:41:21.:41:24.

suddenly finding the Williams, that is not where you really want to be.

:41:25.:41:28.

Maldonado hopefully keeps out of his way. He's not racing him for

:41:29.:41:32.

position. Button does go the. Rosberg, some 2.7 seconds behind.

:41:33.:41:40.

Button couldn't afford to lose much time, but safely through. Hopefully

:41:41.:41:46.

we will have another view of that. I suspect Jean-Eric Vergne drops into

:41:47.:41:50.

turn one, the gap is open, goes for it, and Maldonado has contact. The

:41:51.:42:00.

door is wide, wide open and Maldonado slams it shut. Jean-Eric

:42:01.:42:04.

Vergne was on the concern trying to get out of the way. I think you have

:42:05.:42:09.

got to say that Maldonado brought that on himself on himself. He's

:42:10.:42:25.

down the hill to the next section, gets sideways. Gets on the kerb and

:42:26.:42:34.

as the car reacts to that. Max Chilton reporting over the radio he

:42:35.:42:37.

has a bad vibration, that is a worry, considering he is trying to

:42:38.:42:41.

finish every Grand Prix of his rookie career, something that has

:42:42.:42:45.

never been done in terms of numbers. It would have been 1 Grand Prixes

:42:46.:42:49.

without a non-finish. There are concerns here. But we are counting

:42:50.:42:52.

the laps down. A big moment there again from Esteban Gutierrez. Just a

:42:53.:43:01.

word on the smaller teams, Bianchi, last lap, 17. 8, and Alonso 17. 4,

:43:02.:43:06.

just a few tenths away from a Ferrari. Unfortunately he's two laps

:43:07.:43:16.

and further down the field! Chilton shalt last come into the pits. Maybe

:43:17.:43:20.

there is more of a problem, or maybe they are going for a change of

:43:21.:43:24.

tyres. But yeah, he's just changing tyres and going back on his way.

:43:25.:43:28.

They want that car to make it to the finish. They should be classified

:43:29.:43:32.

with two laps to go. He should have achieved his target. No change

:43:33.:43:37.

between these guys, Di Resta fending off Esteban Gutierrez, who will end

:43:38.:43:40.

the season as the top rookie in the points. He scored six points,

:43:41.:43:45.

curtesy mainly of the good result in Japan, he was seventh in Japan. Mark

:43:46.:43:49.

Webber is now very much counting down to the end of his Formula One

:43:50.:43:54.

year, he will end it in God style by finishing on the podium. Once again,

:43:55.:43:59.

nobody has had an answer today for this man, Sebastian Vettel,

:44:00.:44:03.

controlling the pace of the race throughout throughout, and didn't

:44:04.:44:06.

actually get into the first corner ahead for a change. Had to fight his

:44:07.:44:10.

way in front. Once he had done that, it has been pretty much plain

:44:11.:44:19.

sailing. Thankfully for him was there was a double stop. It has been

:44:20.:44:35.

fairly dominant display. A bit of chat going on at Ferrari. I

:44:36.:44:41.

understood the English bit. 5.7 seconds behind. Looks like he's all

:44:42.:44:45.

set up for a podium finish. A whole series of them earlier on this year,

:44:46.:44:49.

finishing second to Vettel on many occasion, the leaders are on to

:44:50.:44:54.

their final laps. Look at this, Esteban Gutierrez is with Adrian

:44:55.:44:57.

Sutil right behind him. He has caught the other two, so he's been

:44:58.:45:02.

gaining on them. There is just the one lap now in which to try to get

:45:03.:45:10.

past him. Some consolation for Mark Webber, second this afternoon but

:45:11.:45:15.

has the fastest race lap. Not the bad thing to take away from your

:45:16.:45:21.

Grand Prix career. Another fastest lap to add to his tally over his

:45:22.:45:34.

career. His 215th Grand Prix coming to an end. It will be his

:45:35.:45:39.

19th-fastest lap in his career. It will also be his 42nd podium finish

:45:40.:45:45.

in that fantastic career. But you can't take anything away from the

:45:46.:45:50.

26-year-old here, Sebastian Vettel, who has trounced Mark Webber over

:45:51.:45:54.

the last couple of years. He's also managed to win four World

:45:55.:45:58.

Championships and he comes through. Sebastian Vettel wins in Brazil, and

:45:59.:46:03.

he equals one of the oldest records in Formula One, nine consecutive

:46:04.:46:10.

Grand Prix wins and he's the only driver to have done that in one sea

:46:11.:46:14.

on. Mark Webber finshes in second place in his final Grand Prix, what

:46:15.:46:18.

a way to bow out of Formula One, he will continue racing sports cars and

:46:19.:46:23.

go to Porsche as one of the fastest drivers still at the top of his

:46:24.:46:28.

game. Alonso finshes a fine third, first podium since Singapore. That

:46:29.:46:33.

brings Ferrari some relief after a difficult latter part to the season.

:46:34.:46:36.

We are now going to be waiting for Jenson Button to record his best

:46:37.:46:43.

finish of 2013. McLaren finally with a fourth finish, they end up the

:46:44.:46:47.

season without a podium. But that will give them a little bit of a

:46:48.:46:50.

boost at the end of the year. Rosberg finshes fifth, Perez a

:46:51.:46:55.

strong sixth, Massa finshes in seventh, there is delight once again

:46:56.:46:59.

at Red Bull. It doesn't get any better than that. A 1-2 finish. As

:47:00.:47:08.

we said at everyone at home knows, it has been a dominant display. As

:47:09.:47:15.

we close out the 2. 4 V 8 formula. Nobody has ever done what you have

:47:16.:47:22.

just done. In the history of the sport. Guys I'm so proud of you, I

:47:23.:47:28.

love you guys. Remember this, enjoy this, enjoy this moment. Yes! We did

:47:29.:47:37.

it! This is unbelievable. The last win of the 2. 4 V8 era has gone to

:47:38.:47:44.

Sebastian Vettel. That is so suitable when he has dominated the

:47:45.:47:49.

last few years. Webber, is he trying to take his crash helmet off. He's

:47:50.:47:54.

unclicking and taking his helmet off. Don't try this at home kids,

:47:55.:47:58.

he's a professional and driving very, very slowly, and well, wants

:47:59.:48:03.

to feel this the wind in his hair. I have never seen that before. The

:48:04.:48:07.

final slowdown slap for Mark Webber, lovely to see. What a great career

:48:08.:48:12.

he has had. Nice job, mate, brilliant, I know we made it pretty

:48:13.:48:21.

difficult for you, great race craft and driving from you. Fantastic

:48:22.:48:28.

career, brilliant working with you, you can be proud of everything you

:48:29.:48:31.

have done. Because we certainly are, well done. I hope they said that

:48:32.:48:38.

before he took his crash helmet off. He still has his ear clueing plugs

:48:39.:48:47.

in, he has the connection for the car. More doughnuts for Sebastian

:48:48.:48:54.

Vettel, it is becoming a bit of a trade mark for him to enjoy the

:48:55.:48:59.

moment as he enjoys the victory. The fans will be soaking this up. A

:49:00.:49:03.

lovely way to end the season for Sebastian Vettel, just getting into

:49:04.:49:11.

the pitlane. Has to make it back to park firmly or else a penalty. 39th

:49:12.:49:16.

win of his remarkable career. Hole win and fastest lap triple, because

:49:17.:49:22.

Mark Webber snatched the fastest lap. One for the Australian. Equal

:49:23.:49:27.

lying Michael Schumacher's record as well of sump -- equalising Michael

:49:28.:49:34.

Schumacher's record of 13 wins. More doughnuts for Felipe Massa. That's

:49:35.:49:37.

certainly creating a lot of excitement for the Brazilian fans.

:49:38.:49:43.

He's doing a Spanish wave rather than a doughnut. Vettel out of the

:49:44.:49:49.

car to celebrate his dominant end to the season. Unbeaten since July.

:49:50.:49:55.

Since the Belgian Grand Prix, they have never, ever seen a run like

:49:56.:49:59.

this. Mark Webber enjoying the moment as well. There is something

:50:00.:50:04.

that we haven't seen too often. A bit of a friendly clap on the back

:50:05.:50:08.

to Sebastian Vettel to Mark Webber. There is Alonso. Mark throwing his

:50:09.:50:13.

helmet to his trainer and rembering he needed it for the driver

:50:14.:50:17.

weigh-in, never be weighed without your helmet? Same to be thrown out

:50:18.:50:24.

of second place after all this! Christian Horner celebrating with

:50:25.:50:27.

both drivers. Weather they have got on or not over the years, it has

:50:28.:50:33.

been an incredible and successful pairing, Sebastian Vettel and Mark

:50:34.:50:37.

Webber will be one of the most successful pairings in history. A

:50:38.:50:41.

remarkable journey to do what the team has done. Who ever would have

:50:42.:50:50.

thought that what started out as Stewart Grand Prix, fell to Jaguar

:50:51.:50:55.

and has come back so much and had so much success. It is part of that

:50:56.:50:59.

driver pairing, Mark has great skills behind the wheel and pushed

:51:00.:51:04.

Sebastian to be as good as he has turned out to be. Fernando Alonso

:51:05.:51:13.

does come on to the podium. There is Mark Webber, soaking up the

:51:14.:51:19.

atmosphere. But it is Sebastian Vettel once again who will take to

:51:20.:51:29.

the top step. Mark Webber is going to enjoy this. He's down and Webber

:51:30.:51:36.

is down on the podium. But he doesn't care. He's still in one

:51:37.:51:41.

piece and Vettel and Alonso will make it a podium to remember, I'm

:51:42.:51:56.

sure. The results:

:51:57.:52:26.

It is funny in the simulator this felt like a special track for us,

:52:27.:52:32.

pleased with fourth, this is almost as we came here aiming for that.

:52:33.:52:37.

Great job by everyone, and we needed this at the end of the year,

:52:38.:52:40.

especially myself I had a tough ride the last few races. We were waiting

:52:41.:52:44.

for some rain at one point at the end of the race, to mix a little, we

:52:45.:52:48.

felt more competitive in rain also. It didn't come for the race. No

:52:49.:52:53.

safety cars no nothing, so not a boring race, but a little bit

:52:54.:52:58.

frustrating being behind the Red Bull, not quick enough. A special

:52:59.:53:04.

day, because I think we have had challenges over time, but you know

:53:05.:53:08.

it is easier to probably have an easier relationship with Fernando

:53:09.:53:13.

because he's on the same team. To finish on with these guys on the

:53:14.:53:16.

podium, they have been the best of the generation, I have raced them a

:53:17.:53:19.

lot. To finish with those guys was nice for me. Because it is still

:53:20.:53:25.

meaning a lot to me showing I can still drive well at the end of my

:53:26.:53:28.

career. When we came the second time it was quite confusing, it was a

:53:29.:53:33.

late call, when I got on top of the hill at the pitlane I saw the guys

:53:34.:53:39.

already. Then I was counting 1-2-3, front right missing again, same as

:53:40.:53:43.

last year. They had a tyre there but there was marks, because he was then

:53:44.:53:49.

by that time right behind me. Then, yeah, get another tyre I was

:53:50.:53:53.

screaming inside my helmet. Then the tyre arrived, yes, who has taken the

:53:54.:53:57.

blanket off, eventually some guy did it, put it on and then I didn't get

:53:58.:54:02.

the light turning off, we forgot to turn that off as well. It is not, no

:54:03.:54:08.

I don't want to give the team hard time. We had phenomenal stop, that

:54:09.:54:15.

was the longest we had, but we still managed to recover both of us, it

:54:16.:54:19.

was a bit more tricky with the gap with Fernando, especially more Mark,

:54:20.:54:25.

but quite an entertainment with some laps to go. That race was indicative

:54:26.:54:32.

of Sebastian's season, 13 wins incredible. He didn't lead from the

:54:33.:54:37.

start, Nico Rosberg was there, but it was short lived he passed him

:54:38.:54:42.

into turn one and opened up a ten-second lead. It gave him a

:54:43.:54:46.

buffer when it started getting uncomfortable with the pitstops.

:54:47.:54:50.

There was a double stop with Bottas, and the team were confused, the team

:54:51.:54:56.

who went under two seconds it took them up to rate seconds. The classic

:54:57.:54:59.

race for Mark Webber to close down his career? A lot of emotion for

:55:00.:55:04.

Mark in terms of his career, came out short in the championship but

:55:05.:55:08.

won a lot of Grand Prix, satisfied with a podium. There the man on the

:55:09.:55:12.

podium, Fernando Alonso, a decent race for him, he looked he tried to

:55:13.:55:17.

get everything out of that car today? Fare rarely will be happy

:55:18.:55:21.

with the performance of the cars on a green track, no dry running until

:55:22.:55:26.

the Grand Prix itself. Mass miss had a -- Massa a drive through. Best

:55:27.:55:31.

result for Jenson Button of the season. McLaren happy, it was almost

:55:32.:55:34.

like they won the race. It was a tough season, it didn't work out for

:55:35.:55:38.

them. Perez is departing but a double points score. That is it for

:55:39.:55:42.

this season, we will be back in three months time, an end of an era,

:55:43.:55:47.

farewell to Mark Webber, good luck from u and goodbye to those V8s.

:55:48.:55:58.

Built with incredible precision, eight cylinders, the ultimate in

:55:59.:56:08.

speed and engineering. This engine has been fatastically successful.

:56:09.:56:20.

The engine is the heart of the racing car.
