Race Summary
Nico Rosberg continued his late-season resurgence with victory at the Brazilian Grand Prix, defeating Lewis Hamilton and Sebastian Vettel at Interlagos. Rosberg controlled the race from pole position, holding off Hamilton's challenges to secure back-to-back victories. The triumph demonstrated Rosberg's determination to end 2015 on a high note despite losing the championship, showing pride and competitive spirit even when the title was decided.
The race featured intense battles as Hamilton pushed hard to overcome Rosberg's advantage, but the German's defensive driving and race management proved decisive. Vettel's podium for Ferrari rounded out a solid season for the Scuderia, re-establishing themselves as regular podium finishers. Hamilton's fastest lap showed he had ultimate pace but couldn't translate it into victory on this occasion.
Rosberg's Brazilian triumph was his sixth victory of 2015 and second consecutive, providing momentum heading into the season finale. While the championship was long decided, Rosberg's late-season form demonstrated he would be a serious threat to Hamilton in 2016. The victory at Interlagos set up a potential title showdown for the following season, as Rosberg's confidence grew with each passing race.
