Ferrari’s Sebastian Vettel claimed the title in the Brazilian Grand Prix on Sunday to maintain his second place in the season rankings after Lewis Hamilton winning the title two weeks ago in the USA Grand Prix in Mexico City. However the four-times world champion Lewis Hamilton stole the show when he started from the pitlane after changes to his car following a crash as last and managed to finish fourth proving his skills to be a nightmare for his rivals.
“It was fun. It was reminiscent of my karting days when I’d start at the back, particularly in my first year or two. On one side, I messed up yesterday and put myself in the worst position. My goal today was really just to redeem myself from the previous mistake. I was trying to get back to third but just ran out of tyres at the end. But I enjoyed the race and I enjoyed the battle. That continues to show me, but also to everyone else, that I still have a lot of fire in my heart. I’m still young at heart and there’s still many, many more races to go. To get back to fourth, I have to be very grateful and be happy with that”, said Lewis Hamilton after the race.
