D Coulthards last race.
Start delayed 10min due to rain just before warm up lap. Also rained the final 6 laps.
The closest title battle of all time came down to the final corner, of the final lap, of the final race. Both challengers, Hamilton and Massa, were celebrating as they crossed the line. The winner was Hamilton, who needed to finish fifth but dropped to sixth in wet conditions towards the end of the race. As he exited the final corner before the long slog up Interlagos' pit straight, he came across Timo Glock's Toyota struggling for grip on dry tyres. On his intermediates he powered past it and, unbeknown to the celebrating Ferrari pit crew, crossed the line to become world champion at the same circuit where he had failed by a point the year before.
F Massa: "I don't cry a lot, but today it was difficult not to."
