Nico Rosberg rubber stamps his runner-up spot at Brazilian Grand Prix

Nico Rosberg sealed his second straight victory in Sunday's Brazilian Grand Prix to rubber stamp his runner-up spot in the Formula One world championship.

Lewis Hamilton got close to his Mercedes team-mate on a handful of occasions, but failed to find a way past at this famous Interlagos track.

Sebastian Vettel, now consigned to finishing third in the standings, completed the podium places with his Ferrari team-mate Kimi Raikkonen crossing the line in fourth.
