Brazilian Grand Prix
Nineteenth race of the 2010 Formula 1 Championship, in Interlagos Circuit. Waiting for the Grand Prix, find out what happened in 2009 race, in a flashback to the main actions of the race weekend.
Interlagos, 18th October - Kimi Raikkonen picked up three points for finishing the Brazilian Grand Prix in sixth place and Giancarlo Fisichella brought his F60 home in eleventh spot. With Lewis Hamilton finishing third, the situation is that Scuderia Ferrari Marlboro has slipped to fourth place in the Constructors’ championship, just one point behind McLaren-Mercedes. That means there is just one more chance – at the Yas Marina circuit in Abu Dhabi in a fortnight’s time, at the final race of the season, for the Scuderia to reach its long-stated aim of finishing third in the Constructors’ Championship.
The winner of that title, and also the Drivers’ crown was decided today, in favour of Brawn GP and Jenson Button, who finished fifth, while his team-mate Rubens Barrichello managed a single point for eighth, having started from pole before encountering his usual Interlagos misfortune, picking up a late race puncture.
