Sao Paulo: Red Bull won the Formula One constructors' championship and denied Fernando Alonso a third drivers' crown on Sunday after Sebastian Vettel led team mate Mark Webber in a one-two finish in Brazil.

Ferrari's Alonso came third and goes into the final round in Abu Dhabi next week with his lead over Webber cut from 11 points to eight.

Vettel is just 15 behind the Spaniard with McLaren's Lewis Hamilton 24 points off the pace and clinging on to his championship hopes by his fingertips in an unprecedented four-way last-race showdown.

Alonso now has 246 points, Webber 238, Vettel 231 and Hamilton 222.
