Lapchart

The 2013 Brazilian Grand Prix (formally known as the Formula 1 Grande Prêmio Petrobras do Brasil 2013) was a Formula One motor race that was held at the Autódromo José Carlos Pace in São Paulo, Brazil on 24 November 2013. The race marked the 42nd running of the Brazilian Grand Prix. The race was the nineteenth and final round of the 2013 Formula One World Championship.

The race, contested over 71 laps, was won by Sebastian Vettel, his ninth straight Grand Prix victory, driving a Red Bull. His teammate Webber finished in second place in his final race, and Fernando Alonso finished third for Scuderia Ferrari. Vettel established the then-gargantuan records of 397 points total and 155 points margin to second-placed Alonso (these records were surpassed by Lewis Hamilton in and Max Verstappen in respectively). Red Bull-Renault won the Constructors' Championship with a then-record difference of 236 points to second-placed Mercedes (which was surpassed by Mercedes the following season).

This was also Vettel's last win until the 2015 Malaysian Grand Prix, Vettel's last win at Red Bull, Red Bull's last win until the 2014 Canadian Grand Prix, and last 1–2 finish until the 2016 Malaysian Grand Prix. This is also the last race until the 2015 Hungarian Grand Prix that neither Mercedes driver finished on the podium, and is also the last 1–2 finish between Renault-powered drivers to date.

, this is the last time that Brazil hosted the final race of a season and the most recent Grand Prix in which naturally aspirated engines were used.

Report

Background

This was also the last race for the 2.4-litre V8 naturally aspirated engines that were introduced at the 2006 Bahrain Grand Prix and the last race for naturally aspirated engines in general which had been mandatory since 1989. In 2014, Formula One introduced 1.6-litre V6 turbocharged power units with larger and more sophisticated hybrid energy recovery systems.

This was the final race for two previous race winners in the form of Heikki Kovalainen and Mark Webber. This also marked the last race for Cosworth as an engine supplier. And it was also the last race for the two Caterham drivers: Charles Pic and Giedo van der Garde, Felipe Massa's last race with Scuderia Ferrari and Pastor Maldonado's last race in the Williams F1 Team. It was also the last race for Williams running with Renault engines and for Toro Rosso with Ferrari engines until the 2016 F1 season. This was also the last race at which the car numbering system introduced in 1996 whereby cars were numbered according to the Constructors' Championship order of the previous year was used. From 2014 a driver would be allowed to choose a full-time number to use for their whole career.

Tyres

Like the previous Brazilian Grand Prix, tyre supplier Pirelli provided its orange-banded hard compound tyre as the harder "prime" tyre and the white-banded medium compound tyre as the softer "option" tyre.

The teams also tested the company's new tyres for 2014 in the Friday Free Practice sessions. This was also the last race at which the car numbering system introduced in 1996 whereby cars were numbered according to the Constructors' Championship order of the previous year was used. From 2014 a driver would be allowed to choose a full-time number to use for their whole career.

Qualifying

All qualifying sessions were held in wet conditions. Intermediate tyres were mainly used for Q1 and Q2. Q3 was delayed 45 minutes because of rain, and all drivers started with full-wet tyres, but they ended the session with the intermediate tyres.
