 Webber started from fourth place in his final Formula One Grand Prix at the Interlagos circuit for the Brazilian Grand Prix held on 24 November. After a race-long duel with the Ferrari of close friend Fernando Alonso, Webber finished his final race in second place behind team mate Sebastian Vettel, setting the fastest lap of the race. By finishing second, Webber jumped from fifth to third in the final championship standings, overtaking both Lewis Hamilton and Kimi Räikkönen, who did not compete in the final two races of the season. Despite their frosty relationship and winning his thirteenth race of the year (and ninth in succession), Vettel was happy to hand the spotlight on the podium in Brazil to his retiring team mate, congratulating him on his career.
