SAO PAULO (REUTERS) - Red Bull's Sebastian Vettel became
Formula One's youngest triple world champion at the age of 25 after a
wet and chaotic Brazilian Grand Prix rollercoaster won by McLaren's
Jenson Button behind the safety car on Sunday.
The German, needing only a fourth place to join the greats as the first driver to win his first three titles consecutively, finished sixth after fighting back with a damaged car from last on the opening lap.
It proved enough after his sole rival Fernando Alonso, needing victory, crossed the line in his Ferrari in second place with Brazilian Felipe Massa third.
"You're a triple world champion. You're the man. You are a triple world champion," shouted team principal Christian Horner over the team radio as Vettel crossed the finish line after what he said later was the toughest race of his career.
