Red Bull Motor Sports Racing

Sebastian Vettel led home team-mate Mark Webber for a Red Bull 1-2 as their team wrapped up the constructers' championship at the Brazilian Grand Prix.More importantly for the drivers, it keeps both of their title hopes very much alive heading to the season-ending Abu Dhabi Grand Prix with Fernando Alonso finishing third ahead of Lewis Hamilton. The result means that Alonso leads Webber by only eight points with Vettel a further seven behind his team-mate. Lewis Hamilton, who finished fourth, is now very much an outsider for the title as he is now 24 points behind Alonso. But Jenson Button's championship challenge is now over after he could manage to finish no higher than fifth.
Both Vettel and Webber made short work of pole-sitter Nico Hulkenberg at the start, Alonso also finding a way past the Williams car within a few laps of the start. But Lewis Hamilton was unable to do likewise and found himself stuck behind the young German, losing valuable ground on his title rivals before eventually passing for fourth.
The race then followed something of a procession until a late crash by Tonio Liuzzi into turn 2 brought out a late safety car to bunch up the field. But the Red Bulls were again able to stretch away from their rivals to set up a grandstand finish in Abu Dhabi.
