Mark Webber has made his strategy work brilliantly and drove an excellent 71 laps to claim the Brazilian GP. Kubica joins him on the podium with a stellar drive, along with Hamilton, moving up from 17th position. Jenson Button finished 5th, enough to secure his first world championship title.
Heidfeld is now out. Not sure why yet.
Good move from Vettel, around the outside of Rubens. Now Lewis vs Rubens and Rubens is putting up a fight, great to see!
Button is finally past Kobayashi into Turn 1 but then slides out wide and Kobayashi regains his place. Next lap he's past! After 14-ish laps of trying
Interlagos is such a great track!

Rosberg is in trouble and it seems that Button has alot of Luck with him today as well as great driving.
Heidfeld ran out of fuel! How rubbish is that?! The fuel didn't go into the car

Kazoo is off. Big off. Lost his front wing and slams into a tyre wall.
Kobayashi comes out of the pits and Kazuki goes into the back of Kobayashi, (Anthony Davidson says that Kobayashi is moving around an awful lot, Button complained about it too. This may have caught Kazuki out.) Kazukis, trying to overtake, front wing clips the rear of Kobayashi and takes the wing off. Wing hits a wall and seemingly explodes, Kazoos car lifts into the air and carries on at full tilt. Into the tyre wall, slowing down but seemingly not fast enough.

Half-way into the race and the racing has seemingly calmed down.
There's alot of dirt on the track into turn 4 (I think it's turn 4), I think that needs to get brushed away, to allow some overtaking into that corner. This is the corner where Kazuki had his off.
What's good to see is Kubica in 2nd (before pit and after in 3rd), the car seems to have come along way since the start of the season. Vettel and Button have moved up from 14th-15th to 4th and 5th too, some nice movement up the order from them. They've got the hunger for some trophies. Buemi is having a strong showing so far too, driving in 6th position, he seems, to me, to be the best of the rookies this season.
If it stays like this. Button and Brawn will take their respective trophies.
Edit: Lewis passes Rubens, seemingly clipping each other. Front right of lewis' wing on left rear on Rubens' car, causing the right endplate of Lewis' wing to fall off and cause a puncture in Rubens' car. Whether they touched then or not is debateable, camera angles didn't lend much in the way of shedding light.
The puncture and end-plate damage may have been caused earlier in the race. Ant thinks that they may have touched earlier in the race, saying that Rubens' was complaining about a vibration.
Kobayashi has an awesome pass on Fisi. Also rain coming in? Doubt it'll make much difference with 4 laps remaining.
