Vettel, the hero of the Brazilian race

An unbelievable Sunday which the F1 world would never forget. A nerve stopping rce which would nearly stopp ed the heart to beat.

Sao Paulo, Brazil has been in limelight for this weekend as it’s the venue for the ultimatum race for the world champion.

On Saturday Felipe Massa had set the qualifiers to his favor by riding the fastest lap ,took the pole position and the Brazilians were all in cloud number nine as their hero was ready to make a history in the home.

Sunday, the race day: It was swarm of people everywhere to see the unforgettable race that they never had imagined. The race was delayed by 10 minutes as rain started pouring down. All cars were in the pit to change the tires as the tract became wet. Then the five reds were illuminated to begin the race. Massa was leading the race from the front as Hamilton pushed hard to keep him in the fifth position. Laps were dropping down as still Hamilton in the fifth position.

Vettel (Toro Rosso), I would call him as the hero of the race as he was in second position scared the Brazilian driver Massa ,by pushing harder than no would ever imagined. But Massa kept his cool and he didn’t allow Vettel to pass him.


When there were less than 10 laps to go Massa leads the race with Alonso and Kimi behind him respectively. Hamilton was in fourth as Glock and Vettel were behind him. Glock went to fourth position as Hamilton went to a pit stop to change the tires as the rain started pouring down again. Even though Hamilton was safe as he maintained the fifth position to become the world champion.


Vettel ,an unbelievable driver overtook Hamilton when one lap to go pushed Hamilton to sixth position. As everything had been set for Massa to be the world champion, the twist in the tale of the race happened.

An unbelievable last 30 seconds that made people numb and even made Massa shed tears and left him emotional. Massa punched the air as he crossed the chequer flag. The crowd and the Ferrari team rejoiced as Massa won the race and Hamilton was still in the fifth position. Alonso came second , kimi was third,Vettel fourth and then the drama happened. Glock stayed slow allowed Hamilton to finish in the fifth position.

The drama made Hamilton the youngest driver ever to became the F1 world champion.He deserved to be the world champion.
