F-1 GP Brasil 2012 - Button's Win and Vettel's Triumph !

By Leonardo Barroso
The year 2012 was one of the most exciting F-1 championship I ever saw; and the last race, in Interlagos couldn´t be any different.
Alonso was in the need of great result, and hopping that Vettel wouldn't qualify, and at the starting grid, in the first corner, Vettel and Bruno S. crashed, letting the brazilian out of the race and Sebastian at the last place. Fernando was very happy !
But São Paulo is, most of the year a rainy city, and the race went wild !
Hulkenberg took the lead with the surprising Force-India, and I thought he wouldn´t stay long enough in first place, but I was wrong. Hamilton was coming strong in second and Button on third, and as the tires went bad, Lewis took the lead and was heading for a second win in two weeks.
But rain and traffic, together, is not a good combination. Lewis was having a difficult time passing the slower cars, and Nico saw a gap, and tried to overtake Hamilton, but Hulkenberg lost control of his car and broke Mclaren's front wheel. Lewis was out of the race in his last GP for McLaren, after a long time ( since he was 7 ).
With Lewis and Hulk out of the lead, Button took his car with a great driving and only two pit-stops to a fantastic win.
Alonso was third with Massa in second, and by Ferrari's Law, they changed their race positon.
And Vettel....well he was last, almost out of the race, and losing the championship; he made a great recovering and finished in sixth position, wining his third consecutive F-1 Drivers Championship, by only three points from Fernando. 
The best and final race of one the best F-1 Championship !
Happy New Year !
P.S. - Goodbye Schumacher ! We wish you all the best !
          And Barrichello thanks for letting him as the F-1 Driver with more GP starts.
