Going into the final Formula One race of the year, the Brazilian Grand Prix, Lewis Hamilton needed to finish 5th or better to be World Champion, especially once it was clear rival Felipe Massa would win the race. Problem was, with a lap to go, Hamilton was in 6th, having been passed a lap earlier. Once again, it looked like Hamilton would throw away the championship. Luckily for him, Toyota decided not to bring in Timo Glock for wet tires on a wet track.
Congrats Britain, you finally didn't screw something up. Enjoy this amazing finish before the F1 video Nazis take it down.

In fairness, this is an once in a blue moon thing for F1. IndyCar, on the other hand, is usually good for a couple of these finishes a year.

This video is indisputable proof that F1 is far better than NASCAR. It's not even close.
