Jenson Button has wrapped up the title championship with a great drive from 14th on the grid. He made some great overtaking moves to finish 5th in the Brazilian race, and take the Drivers championship.

Rubens caused the Q3 session to be stopped with 28 seconds on the clock, causing a little bit of a topsy turvy grid.
