I had no idea in what position we were racing - Vettel

Scuderia Toro Rosso driver Sebastian Vettel, who played a big role in the battle for the championship at Interlagos today, said after the race that he didn't have a clue in what position he was racing. Two laps before the chequered flag, Vettel managed to overtake Hamilton and almost costed the Briton his title.

After the race, Vettel said: "I had no idea in what position we were racing. I was totally focussed on the race and didn't watch my pit board once to be honest. It was incredibly slippery out there on track and I needed every second to focus on the track.

"Hamilton ran a bit wide after Kubica overtook him and I could pass him quiet easily, but I didn't have a clue what Consequence it could have for Hamilton. I was just fully focussed on my own result and I'm really glad I finished fourth, scoring five points for the team and securing our seventh position in the constructors' championship."
