Interlagos runs counter-clockwise through the hills of São Paulo, with dramatic elevation changes and a layout that rewards bravery. The long, banked left-hander of Curva do Sol and the tight Senna S create natural overtaking opportunities. Its short lap length means traffic is always a factor.
One of F1's most historic venues, Interlagos has hosted the Brazilian Grand Prix since 1990 (and earlier from 1973-1980). Named after its location 'between lakes,' the circuit was shortened from its original 7.96km layout. Brazil's passionate fans and the track's championship-deciding history make it one of the sport's most emotional venues.
Lewis Hamilton overtook Timo Glock on the final corner of the final lap to snatch the World Championship from Felipe Massa, who had already begun celebrating.
Sebastian Vettel was hit on lap one and dropped to last, but drove through the field to finish sixth and clinch the title by three points over Fernando Alonso.
A rain-drenched race was red-flagged after multiple crashes. Giancarlo Fisichella was initially classified second but later awarded the victory for Jordan.
