F1: Brazilian Grand Prix in six words

,

Well, that was squeaky-bum time for every Lewis Hamilton and McLaren fan in the country. Hamiltons, father and son, weren’t the only people who were speechless after the drivers’ championship was decided, on the last lap of the last race of the season, by a single point.

But, now our powers of communication are restored, here are our six-word summaries of what happened for race, drivers and teams:

Rain brought procession alive – terrifyingly late

Drivers

1. Felipe Massa
Heartbreaking result after perfect home drive

Couldn’t repeat Belgian wet-weather success

Final nail in his career’s coffin?

Probably best out of it, mate
