An exciting season headed to its climax in 2012 as a showdown between Sebastian Vettel and Fernando Alonso ensued.

Alonso had started the year brilliantly and looked on course for a sure-shot title win, but Vettel clawed back around the mid-way mark of the season and managed to grab a 13-point lead heading into Interlagos.

That didn't account for much though, and there was still plenty to play for. Alonso drove his best, but couldn't find a way past Jenson Button in the end, while at the other end, Sebastian Vettel was facing his own issues.

Constant problems marred the German's race from the very start where he was tagged by Bruno Senna, but a measured drive ensured he finished sixth, just about enough to get him the points needed for another title win.
