Post-race Statistics of the 2013 Brazilian Grand Prix

Another race over, another season over, another Vettel win, the Brazilian Grand Prix. A record equalling thirteen wins in a season and nine in a row from the four time champion.

The first ever driver to manage nine consecutive wins in a single season and only the second to manage nine in a row after Alberto Ascari. Webber came second in his final F1 race, not sure that’s been mentioned at all?! Webber also set the fastest lap of the race and Alonso came third, his first podium finish since Singapore. Surprisingly before Vettel started his run of nine wins nobody had won consecutive races in 2013.

Two drivers that failed to reach Q3 finished in the points, both of the McLarens. Sergio Perez gained thirteen positions, starting 19^th after his grid penalty and finishing sixth. Jenson Button gained ten, starting 14^th and finishing fourth. Nico Rosberg was briefly leading the race, but as Vettel passed him before the line Vettel led every single lap of the Brazilian Grand Prix.

Despite never setting the F1 world alight with his speed, Max Chilton has set a new F1 record and became the first driver to finish every single race in their full debut season, Chilton’s fastest race lap was also quicker than Pastor Maldonado’s, though Chilton was helped by a very late pit stop.

Quite a few changes in the positions for a change, Webber gained two positions to finish third, Hulkenberg and Perez both passed di Resta for 10^th and 11^th and Kovalainen’s 14^th place took him to 21^st.
