Grande Prêmio do Brasil.
Controversy in São Paulo as an irate Fernando Alonso, rejoining the race from his final pit stop, finds himself behind his team mate and World Championship rival Lewis Hamilton after being in front of him from the start. His anger is clear to see in his now aggressive and desperate driving, increasingly locking up under braking and planting two wheels on the grass as he powers down too early out of the corners.
Despite his messy laps, he is gaining on his rival quickley. Hamilton, taking it relatively easy after his error in China, knows finishing ahead of Alonso will guarantee him the title so isn't risking anything.
Coming out of turn thirteen and onto the fastest section of the track, Alonso has Hamilton in is sights but frustratingly knows he isn't quite close enough to make his move this time. As the end of the main straight approaches, he is surprised to feels his car sneak into his enemy's slipstream. He is almost on top of his braking zone, but his car is increasing in speed. It is at that point, through anger and frustration, he decides to move his car to the left and attempt to out brake Hamilton. His car, carrying too much speed into the tight turn one, locks up once more and begins to slide.
Hamilton knows Alonso is to his left, but is concentrating on hitting his own braking zone, and as he slows from two hundred miles per hour down to seventy and starts to turn in, he spots Alonso shooting across his racing line and into his path.
Hamilton is helpless, and has nowhere else to go but into the side of Alonso's car, the momentum carrying both of the McLarens off the track.
Hamilton manages to rejoin the track but his front wing is badly damaged, and he will need to complete almost a full lap before pitting and receiving a replacement. Alonso however, is out. His suspension broken from the impact, his race and the chance of retaining the championship title is over.
The damage to Hamilton's car means he loses a lot of time and places, but safe in the knowledge he is the new world champion, he completes the race in fifth position.
