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 on 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, though this was since broken by Max Verstappen in 2023. Red Bull-Renault won the Constructors' Championship with a record difference of 236 points to second-placed Mercedes.
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.
As of 2023, this is the last time that Brazil hosted the final race of a season.
