Red Bull pulls off a 1-2 victory at Interlagos, Brazil and captures the FIA Formula 1 Constructor’s Title for 2010 ahead of McLaren and Ferrari. The other important fact is that the title race for the Driver’s Championship is wide open as current leader Fernando Alonso only managed a third place. He is still leading the race but as Red Bull’s Mark Webber came in second, he is only eight points ahead of Webber and followed by Webber’s team mate Sebastian Vettel, who won Sunday’s race.

This marks Red Bull’s first constructor’s championship title after competing in Formula 1 for about 7 years. It is quite an achievement for a relatively new team to do so but this is still not as fantastic as last year’s winner Brawn Mercedes (now Mercedes GP after Mercedes came in with engines and all), who managed it after one season (and had come fourth in the constructor’s championship this season). Brawn Mercedes was basically built from the ashes of Honda who pulled out of Formula 1 after the end of the 2008 season.

Anyway, what is important is that it has been a roller coaster season, where there has been a great fight between Red Bull and McLaren at first, followed by an upsurge in the performance of Ferrari that basically threw the Constructor’s Championship wide open.

But things are not over yet. The final race at Abu Dhabi, UAE will determine who comes home with the Driver’s Championship. It’s a three way fight between Fernando Alonso of Ferrari and the two Red Bull drivers, Mark Webber and Sebastian Vettel. Lewis Hamilton is fourth, and if some fluke happens, like all three stated above do not finish in the points, he wins.

It has been a pretty good Formula 1 season this year, and it’s down to the wire for the drivers this time at Abu Dhabi on the 14th of November.
