Sao Paulo: Nico Rosberg edged past his Mercedes teammate Lewis Hamilton to win the Brazilian GP and close in on his rival in the Formula One title race.
“It I’m very happy with the whole weekend. I have been feeling comfortable in the car. I was able to attack and control the gap. I learnt from the last race and did better here,” Rosberg said.

Rosberg cut his points-deficit to 17 but Hamilton will keep the upper hand going into the season-ending race in Abu Dhabi. If Rosberg misses out on a podium spot, Hamilton can finish eighth or better and still lift the trophy. Hamilton has 334 points to 317 for Rosberg.

Meanwhile, Felipe Massa of Williams finished third ahead of Jenson Button of McLaren and Sebastian Vettel of Red Bull. Vettel.

Sebastian Vettel said, “I had a good launch at the start and then into Turn 4… maybe I don’t have the best memories of Turn 4 here from two years ago, I didn’t know how aggressive Kevin (Magnussen) was going to be going into it and I left a bit too much space. I went a bit wide and lost two positions as I couldn’t get on the power out of the corner. Then I had to fight hard to get the positions back during the race which we did, especially with strategy. I hoped to get maybe one more position to finish fourth, but in the end it was a good result for us here.”
