Sebastian Vettel found himself rotating approximately on the track just after the start, watching powerlessly as other cars whizzed past him. His Formula One title hopes appear to be wandering away with them.
Vettel shook off a first-lap crash and other complexity to finish sixth at the Brazilian Grand Prix, good enough to defend his lead over contestant Fernando Alonso and become F1's youngest three-time winner at age 25.
Jenson Button of McLaren won the race at Interleague, with Alonso second and Ferrari colleague Felipe Massa third. Seven-time world winner Michael Schumacher, F1's most victorious driver, finished seventh in his final race after 19 seasons.
Schumacher was the first to cheer Vettel, having just bid his own send-off to the sport. Minutes before the race, he circuits the track with a flag with the words "Thank You." He used the radio to be grateful the technicalities and engineers he has worked with as well as his fans watching on TV.
Lewis Hamilton was most important in his final race with McLaren when Nico Hulkenberg crashed into him while trying to pass on a greasy track with 17 laps to go. Hamilton conventional a standing applause from his McLaren team when recurring to the garage.
