A day after capturing his fifth consecutive pole position, Mercedes Nico Rosberg raced to his fifth victory of the season, and in doing so secured second place in the drivers’ standings for the second year in a row.
The German is the seventh driver to score back-to-back wins in Brazil (and the first since Juan Pablo Montoya in 2005), and now has 13 wins to his name – the same number as double world champion Alberto Ascari and Scottish racer David Coulthard. Only Stirling Moss, with 16 Grand Prix victories, has triumphed more times without winning the drivers’ crown.
Rosberg’s victory means that Lewis Hamilton has now gone nine races without winning at Interlagos, although the Briton’s second place finish did ensure Mercedes of their 11th one-two finish of the season, which ties their all-time record from last year. Can the Silver Arrows establish a new record in Abu Dhabi?
