Michael Schumacher had tremendous fun as he battled back to finish seventh in his final Grand Prix in Brazil.

Schumacher also paid tribute to Vettel, who could soon threaten his seven titles, adding: "I'm very proud of Sebastian and really thrilled for him. "As early as the first lap, I suddenly found him blocking the track facing the wrong way, but the two of us both staged great comebacks in the race. "His performance also showed you just have to keep plugging away, and it's obviously a nice ending if you see the story I'm finishing off here. In a way it does remind me of 2003 when I had a similar struggle and just managed by a point to win the championship."
