F1: Vettel eyes repeat - Brazilian GP in numbers

The Hindu  

Sebastian Vettel will be able to draw on fond memories of last year's Brazilian Grand Prix when Ferrari attempt to keep the battle for the constructors' title alive this weekend. Vettel's slim hopes of being crowned world champion ended when Lewis Hamilton finished fourth in Mexico, allowing the Briton to claim a fifth Formula One title. Scuderia duo Vettel and Kimi Raikkonen crossed the line in second and third place respectively, cutting Mercedes' advantage to 55 points with two races remaining. Vettel won at Interlagos last year and has earned more points at the Brazilian Grand Prix than any other driver in the history of the race.
