Sebastian Vettel became the youngest triple champion in Formula One history yesterday when he finished sixth behind the victorious Jenson Button in the Brazilian Grand Prix.
25-year-old Vettel, who was involved in an opening lap collision with Williams' Bruno Senna which sent him to the rear of the field, made light of the damage to his Red Bull car as he fought back in a dramatic race run in treacherous rain-swept conditions at the Interlagos circuit.
Vettel's only title rival, Fernando Alonso, finished second in his Ferrari, but it was not enough to overhaul a pre-race 13-point deficit as his German rival won the crown by just three points.
Felipe Massa was third in the other Ferrari.
Michael Schumacher was seventh for Mercedes in his final grand prix before he retires from the sport for good.
