Yet the Brazilian Grand Prix only intensified the interest and intrigue, with a rain shower opening the door for one of the modern day shocks.<\/p>\n<p>Heading through the Senna \u2018S,\u2019 at the beginning of the lap, multiple drivers were caught out and slid off into the barriers. These included Jenson Button, Juan Pablo Montoya and reigning world champion Michael Schumacher.<\/p>\n<p>Elsewhere, Kimi Raikkonen was flourishing and establishing himself as the threat to Schumacher\u2019s crown, having finished on the podium in the year\u2019s first pair of races, which included his breakthrough win at the Malaysian Grand Prix. But his rip-roaring drive saw him make some wonderful overtakes and left him in the lead, until he was passed by Giancarlo Fisichella\u2019s Jordan, whose optimistic fuel strategy brought one of the grid\u2019s less competitive cars to the sharp end.<\/p>\n<p>After a red flag was issued, due to two crashes heading towards the start\/finish straight, Raikkonen was given the win. However, the Jordan driver was awarded it, upon review, ahead of the following race at Imola.<\/p>\n<p>At the Italian track, the Italian was given his winner\u2019s trophy for the first time in the sport.<\/p>\n<p>2012<\/p>\n<p>Also in wet conditions, but with a drivers\u2019 championship at stake, Red Bull\u2019s Sebastian Vettel led Ferrari\u2019s Fernando Alonso by 13 points. But things would take a sharp turn, when Vettel was spun around on the first lap, while Alonso quickly assumed second. As things stood, he was the world champion- but the next 70 laps flipped the script of what was possible.<\/p>\n<p>2021<\/p>\n<p>Not quite the final race, but with a championship fight at fever pitch, Lewis Hamilton had battled a grid penalty and disqualification from qualifying to duel with his rival, Max Verstappen, for the victory.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Lewis at Interlagos in 2021, you will always be famous \ud83c\udde7\ud83c\uddf7<\/p>\n<p>Hamilton made 24 overtakes across the Sprint and Grand Prix as he powered through the field, taking the win on Sunday \ud83e\udd47<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/F1?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">#F1<\/a> <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/BrazilGP?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">#BrazilGP<\/a> <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/NGmGvyUB0Q\" rel=\"nofollow\">pic.twitter.com\/NGmGvyUB0Q<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Formula 1 (@F1) <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/F1\/status\/1851705883472073032?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">October 30, 2024<\/a><\/p>\n<p>He went from last to fifth during the Saturday sprint, and blitzed through the pack, from tenth, and was just about keeping his title hopes alive. His first attempt at an overtake, to the outside of the Dutchman heading into turn four, he was forced off. The second time around, he could not find a way passed, again.<\/p>\n<p>But at the third attempt, on lap 59, the DRS and the W12\u2019s peerless straight-line speed enabled him to claim the position before the braking zone.<\/p>\n<p>Formula 1 news &amp; related links<\/p>\n<p>                        <script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Interlagos circuit, is one of the most eminent and popular on the current Formula One schedule.
