Nico Rosberg kept alive his world title hopes when he won Sunday's Brazilian Grand Prix ahead of his Mercedes team-mate and champiionship leader Lewis Hamilton. Rosberg's triumph ended Hamilton's run of five straight wins and reduced the Briton's lead in the championship from 24 points to 17 with one race remaining, the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix on November 23.
The 29-year-old German, who had dominated every practice session at Interlagos and started from his 10th pole of the season, came home 1.457 seconds ahead of Hamilton.
The result gave Rosberg his first win and podium finish in Brazil, his first in eight races since victory on home soil in Germany in July, the fifth of his season and the eighth of his career. "I am happy with the whole weekend," said Rosberg.
