SAO PAULO (AP) Nico Rosberg won Sunday's Brazilian Grand Prix, leading from start to finish to beat Mercedes teammate and already-crowned season champion Lewis Hamilton.

Rosberg started from pole and won his second consecutive race - his fifth victory of the season - to clinch second place in the season standings with one race to run in Abu Dhabi.

Rosberg and Hamilton spent the entire race 1-2, remaining that way through three pits stops. Hamilton turned some of the fastest laps near the end could not catch his teammate and rival.

Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel finished third and teammate Kimi Raikkonen was fourth.
