Webber first at last

Mark Webber won the season-ending Brazilian Grand Prix on Sunday after Red Bull teammate Sebastian Vettel struggled with a gearbox problem. Vettel,who had already secured the F1 title,still finished second after letting Webber get past him almost halfway through the race at the Interlagos track. Jenson Button of McLaren finished third to secure second place in the drivers standings.

Webber easily passed Vettel on lap 30 after his teammate reduced his pace after being told by the team that there was something wrong with his gearbox. Webber finished third in the championship with the victory,his first of the season. It was his seventh overall in F1,and the second in Brazil after winning in Interlagos in 2009. Vettel,the winner in Brazil in 2010,won 11 races this season but finishes the year without victories in the last two races.

Fernando Alonso of Ferrari was fourth and crowd favorite Felipe Massa,in his 100th race for Ferrari,was fifth.
