0' He sings 'We are the Champions' over the team radio, and who can blame him - he saw the job through and is now a true superstar of Formula One.

0' AND JENSON BUTTON COMES HOME IN FIFTH TO WIN THE WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP!

0' MARK WEBBER WINS THE BRAZILIAN GP...

1' Webber begins the final lap but all eyes are on Button.

2' Just two laps remain for Button to negotiate... he will see all sorts of debris in his path now!

3' Hamilton will also be delighted to take a podium. The home fans subdued after the death of their man Barrichello's fight for the World Championship.

4' Button warned that there may be some rain before the end, but very little. And Kobayashi passes a sleeping Fisichella for 10th.

5' Kubica has driven a special race as he eyes second spot with Barrichello now eighth. A single point means nothing to him today.

6' Button coasting in fifth behind Vettel. Oh and Webber is seven seconds clear at the front, in case you were wondering.

7' The puncture was a result of Hamilton catching the rear tyre on his way past! That will make Lewis even more popular in Brazil.

8' The Brawn comes in and that will signal the end of his title fight. Disastrous luck today after such a promising qualifying.

9' Button moving clear of Kimi behind him and looks set to claim the title. BARRICHELLO HAS A PUNCTURE!!

10' Barrichello told to look after his car and bring it home... and soon after Hamilton comes past on the inside for third! Disaster for the Brazilian title hope.

11' The points positions: 1.Webber 2.Kubica 3.Barrichello 4.Hamilton 5.Vettel 6.Button 7.Raikkonen 8.Buemi

12' Kovalainen stops and promotes Button a place. That also allows Jenson clean air to attack.

13' Still no sign of rain, although there are heavy clouds on one side of the circuit.

14' Raikkonen eighth and making up ground on Button with Kovalainen holding up the Briton.

15' Vettel is out ahead of Kova and Button! What does that mean for the championship? It means Jenson would have 87, Barrichello 77 and Vettel 73. But Button has more wins, so he would still take the title.

16' Hamilton is well clear of his English countryman. The Red Bull mechanics are out for Vettel...

17' Button comes in... this has to be clean... and it is! He has to let Kovalainen come past as he has better speed.

18' Button ploughing on, so close now to the title. And Brawn will surely win the constructors' crown today.

19' A large black cloud drifts closer to the circuit. Will the race beat the rain? A bit of pathetic fallacy would be a suitable backdrop to this title fight - while the weather itself could have a larger bearing upon it.

20' Webber has almost been forgotten at the front, 27 seconds clear. He pits cleanly and will surely take a dominant victory.

21' Barrichello comes in. He resumes ahead of Hamilton and behind Buemi.

22' Kovalainen advancing behind Kobayashi, who is now set to defend his final-point position...

23' So at present Button would have 90 points at the end, while Barrichello would have 79 and Vettel 73. With 10 points for a win, that would seal his maiden triumph.

24' One of those is Button holding off Vettel. Hamilton is seventh and a way back but lapping well.

25' The early incidents have led to a dearth of cars on the track, and therefore there are few battles going on.

26' Kubica pits and resumes in third. Button is fourth having not stopped, while Barrichello is a long way ahead of his team-mate in second - 15 seconds behind the leader but 14 ahead of Jenson.

27' Button told that fellow Briton Hamilton is a threat.

28' Raikkonen also in for his final stop.

29' Hamilton pits for the only time today and has a swerve on the pitlane exit, lucky to keep it together and reemerge in ninth.

30' Button will win the title if Barrichello fails to take six points more than him - assuming Vettel remains behind him. At present he will secure the crown today.

31' Check out the latest speculation from the paddock concerning 2010: More F1 news

32' Webber now 6.6s ahead of Robert Kubica, with Barrichello in third still full of Lewis Hamilton in his mirrors.

33' Fisichella pits - his only stop - and resumes in front of Toro Rosso driver Alguersuari.

34' Button seventh ahead of Seb Buemi, Fisichella, Liuzzi, Kobayashi, Kovalainen, Grosjean and Alguersuari.

35' The rain predicted by many teams has not materialised - and doesn't look likely to.

36' There are 13 points from Hamilton in fifth to Raikkonen in sixth.

37' Heidfeld dejected in the pits after he ran out of fuel. he joins Nakajima, Rosberg, Sutil, Trulli and Alonso as casualties in this race.

39' Webber leads by 6.8 seconds from the sister Red Bull of Vettel, yet to stop.

40' He went to move up the inside of Kobayashi, who had come out of the pits... and his fellow Japanese moved across to clip him. He struck the barrier and went across the track, lucky not to collect anyone on his way. The rookie may be penalised for that.

41' Nakajima slides sideways off the track at turn four and all the way across the gravel trap and into the tyre wall!

42' Button 10th after his stop. Hamilton all over Barrichello.

43' Williams are hit with another hammer blow: Nakajima effectively last after his pitstop.

44' Rosberg out of the race due to a mechanical issue. It looks like an engine problem.

45' Webber very quick at present and will look to take the lead of the race when he stops. Which is happening now... he comes out ahead of Button even, who was in front having not yet stopped.

46' Hamilton and Kovalainen are right up behind Barrichello, who is losing loads of time in the traffic. And Button comes through and past Kobayashi!

47' Kubica has pitted from third and resumed ahead of Barrichello!

48' Barrichello now having to defend against Hamilton, who could be in a good position after that early pitstop. he doesn't have to stop here.

49' Vettel however has designs of his own and surges past Barrichello on the outside! He now sits eighth.

50' In comes the Brazilian and he reemerges behind Nakajima; Hamilton eyes Vettel in ninth.

51' Barrichello 2.7 seconds clear now. The Brawn mechanics are out...

52' Sutil: "I got hit at the read-end and lost control; I don't realise what happened. I was on my race-line exiting this corner and didn't do anything wrong: he tried to go around the outside and he crashed. Out of the race... I will talk to him, but the way he did it on the circuit was at a low level."

53' Trulli: "I was on the outside and Sutil on the inside and I overtook him because out of corner I had more speed and I lost control of car and hit the wall. I talked to Alonso who was also out and saw everything and he said this guy is crazy."

54' Button now 17 seconds behind his Brawn GP team-mate at the front, who is setting many fastest laps.

55' Six seconds the gap between Rosberg and Buemi, while there are another five back to Kobayashi.

56' Stewards are investigating the incident between Kova and Raikkonen in the pitlane. It took them a while to make that decision.

57' Kubica is just behind Webber, with Buemi in fifth beginning to lose time on Rosberg ahead of him.

58' Webber taking chunks out of Barrichello's lead now, the Aussie having set the fastest lap of the race. The Brazilian needs a four-second lead at the first round of stops.

59' The full order: 1.Barrichello 2.Webber 3.Kubica 4.Rosberg 5.Buemi 6.Kobayashi 7.Button 8.Nakajima 9.Vettel 10.Heidfeld 11.Hamilton 12.Kovalainen 13.Grosjean 14.Raikkonen 15.Alguersuari 16.Fisichella 17.Liuzzi

62' Button still trying to get past the Toyota while behind him Nakajima is being tested by Vettel and Heidfeld.

63' Barrichello sets a fastest lap as he extends his lead over Webber to 1.7s.

64' Button charging, almost past Kamui Kobayashi - the Toyota man replacing injured Timo Glock just defends. What a race this has been already.

65' Button past Grosjean with a lovely manouevre and he is now in the points. And he disposes of Kazuki Nakajima too!

66' Kubica through against Rosberg for third, brilliant driving.
