Brazil, Interlagos Circuit - Race results

2011

1. Mark Webber 1:32:17.464 (perfect start - which is not too common for australian driver, very nice race although the RedBull strategy for first pit stop was not much in the interest of Webber when the team decided that Vettel stop first even if Mark Webber had much more tyre degradation, but anyway in the lap 40 taked the lead and won the race with a last lap - record lap)

2. Sebastian Vettel +16.9 sec (good start, nice race etc although he had or not that gearbox overheating problem; RedBull has shown once again the superiority of its car or of its drivers: vettel managed to win 2nd place with a problem and Webber with his last lap record as a kind of arrogance)

3. Jenson Button +27.6 sec (amazing race, its a shame that in the 1st part of the race lose too much time, because in last part of the race with hard tyres his race rhytm is fantastic)
4. Fernando Alonso +35.0 sec (after overtook Hamilton at the start, he overtook Button in a very difficult spot, but hard tyres gave headaches for Ferrari and Button took advantage of this problem)
5. Felipe Massa +66.7 sec (good race, even if he couldn't be on the height of front drivers and maybe next year will be on top again like 2008 season; we saw a nice burnout after race ended of the brazilian driver)
6. Adrian Sutil +1 lap
