The 2013 Formula One season saw Sebastian Vettel and Red Bull-Renault dominate throughout, with Vettel securing the Drivers' Championship well before the final round in Brazil, the nineteenth race of the year.
Held on 24 November 2013 at the Autódromo José Carlos Pace, the race ran over 71 laps. Vettel won ahead of teammate Mark Webber, who was competing in his final Formula One race, with Fernando Alonso third for Ferrari.
Vettel's victory set then-records of 397 championship points and a 155-point margin over Alonso, while Red Bull claimed the Constructors' title by a record 236 points. The race was also the last Formula One event to use naturally aspirated engines before the 2014 switch to turbo-hybrid power units.
