Description

The Brazilian Grand Prix was held at the Autódromo José Carlos Pace (Interlagos) in São Paulo. The race became famous because the Formula 1 drivers’ championship was decided in dramatic fashion at the finish. Felipe Massa won the race, but Lewis Hamilton finished in a position that secured the championship by a single point overall. Changing weather conditions, including rain late in the event, added to the chaos and tension.
