The 2008 Brazilian Grand Prix is widely regarded as one of the most dramatic and unforgettable races in Formula One history, as it was decided on the very final corner of the final lap of the season. Held on 2 November 2008 at the Autódromo José Carlos Pace (Interlagos) in São Paulo, it served as the 18th and final round of the championship, hosting an intense title showdown between McLaren's Lewis Hamilton and Ferrari's Felipe Massa.
Local hero Felipe Massa did everything he needed to do by dominating the weekend, taking pole position, and winning the race in front of his home crowd. However, Lewis Hamilton's fifth-place finish secured him the World Drivers' Championship by just a single point (98 to 97).

By crossing the line in fifth, the 23-year-old Hamilton clinched his first of seven world titles, becoming the youngest F1 World Champion at the time. Massa displayed immense sportsmanship and dignity on the podium despite his crushing home-race heartbreak.
