Brazil low down...

Sao Paulo; a place of history, a place where everyone feels that little bit closer to the legendary racer Ayrton Senna, a place where dreams become reality, championships are decided, tears are shed and excitement is felt.

The last Grand Prix of the season has been and gone.

Although the championship was ultimately over in Japan, there were battles still to be fought for constructor’s points.

Sunday morning’s main focus was on whether it was going to rain, at what time and deciding what setup and strategy was going to work best for the race.

The race started in the warm Brazilian sunshine, everyone started on the quicker soft tyres and the race was go!

Lap 1, both Ferrari’s got off to a good start along with Vettel who started like he has started every race this season - instant pace, something he’s perfected.

Home racer Rubens Barichello had a very poor start falling from 10^th to 19^th, a sad sight for fans to see as it’s in doubt as to whether he has a race seat next year or not.

All 24 cars managed to get to Lap 9 with no need of a safety car all race, it was Michael Schumacher and Bruno Senna that had a racing incident on Lap 10 causing Schumacher to pit after a puncture for another lot of soft tyres.

Fernando Alonso pulled out another almighty over take on Lap 11 - when he overtakes he does it in impressive style, meanwhile Sebastian Vettel is made aware of a gearbox problem over his team radio and Bruno Senna get’s given a driving through for his incident earlier, not the sight any of the Brazilian fans wanted to see.

After several messages over the radio to Vettel about his “serious” gear box problem, on Lap 30 his team mate Mark Webber takes 1^st place, where he stayed for the rest of the race to claim his first (and what will be the last) win of the season for the Red Bull team.

With gear box issues being a reoccurring feature during the length of the race, eventually Lewis Hamilton’s gave up the ghost and he retired on Lap 48, joining retirees Timo Glock on Lap 21 due to a failed pit stop and unsafe release, with the team later being fined, and Pastor Maldonado who unfortunately summed up his season by crashing into the barrier on Lap 26. Tonio Liuzzi was the last retirement on Lap 61.

Force India driver Adrian Sutil had a belter of a race, making impressive over takes past Nico Rosberg for the 6^th place battle, while team mate Paul di Resta finished best of the rookies in 8^th.

The ultimate pass from Jenson Button on Lap 62 saw him take 2^nd from Fernando Alonso, where they both remained for the rest of the race. As the GP came to an end, Mark Webber was on the podium in 1^st - a well-deserved win by the Australian, joining him was Sebastian Vettel in 2^nd and Jenson in 3^rd.

Apart fron the Ayrton Senna tribute helmets, Sebastian Vettel's was my favourite helmet of the weekend,  "Cheers Maz" you mysterious RBR employee!

And a last thanks to the class of 2011 for giving us a great season of racing... (including Nick Heidfeld, Karun Chandhok and the other reserves) along with all the teams and everyone who works in F1!

The curtains have no been drawn and focus turns to 2012. 

If, like me, you can't wait till March for you F1 fix, then Red Bull are hosting a 'Red Bull home run' event in Milton Keynes on December 10th. Welcoming home Kinky Kylie after her last ever race, oh and Sebastian, Mark, DC and all the team will be there too!
