SAO PAULO, Brazil -- Sebastian Vettel won Formula Ones season-ending Brazilian Grand Prix on Sunday, matching Michael Schumachers record of 13 victories in a year and equaling the nine consecutive wins of Alberto Ascari. Vettels Red Bull teammate Mark Webber was second in his final F1 race. Fernando Alonso of Ferrari was third. Vettel, who had already wrapped up a fourth straight F1 title, was overtaken by Nico Rosberg of Mercedes at the start but regained the lead on the second lap and cruised to his second victory in Brazil, and 39th of his career. He crossed the line 10.4 seconds in front of Webber. "I think it is very difficult for me to realize, probably now and in the next couple of weeks, what we have achieved again, and in particular this year at the end of the season," Vettel said. "At the end of the day, as I see it now, its just a number. But hopefully one day, when Ive got less hair and (Im) chubby, then its probably something nice to look back." Jenson Button was fourth for McLarens best finish of the season. Rosberg was fifth and Mexicos Sergio Perez finished sixth after starting 19th in his final race with McLaren. "Yes, we did it," Vettel said on his radio before his now-traditional donut celebration. The win capped an impressive season by Vettel, who had already broken Schumachers 2004 mark of seven straight wins in the same season last week at the United States GP. Vettel matched the 13 wins by Schumacher that same year, and equaled Ascaris record of straight victories from 1952-53. The 26-year-old Vettel clinched the title at the Indian GP, becoming the youngest driver to win four world championships. Webber, who had won two of the last four races in Brazil, took his helmet off as he returned to the pits and waved to the crowd. The team wrote "Awesome. Thank you Mark," on the pit sign as the Australian crossed the line. "It was a good finish to my career," he said. "It was a great journey. Ill enjoy watching F1 next year." Webber will be joining Porsche in a sports car series in 2014. The 37-year-old Australian spent 12 seasons in F1, winning nine times and reaching the podium 42 times in 215 starts. His second place on Sunday allowed him to finish third in the drivers standings, repeating his feat in 2010 and 11. Vettel had a poor start and was overtaken by Rosberg at the first turn but was back in front with a move to the inside of his fellow German driver on Turn 1 on the following lap. Vettel had a slow pit stop near the end but remained in front thanks to a big lead over Webber before coming in. It was the first time this weekend that drivers raced on a dry track at Interlagos after the three practice sessions and qualifying were run in wet conditions. Light rain fell near the end of the race but it wasnt enough to significantly affect the track conditions. Lewis Hamilton, who had a flat right rear tire on his Mercedes after contact with Valtteri Bottas of Williams, finished ninth. Hamilton received a drive through penalty for causing the collision. Mercedes held on to second place in the constructors championship, finishing ahead of Ferrari and Lotus. Red Bull was the champion. It was the last race before significant engine changes debut in F1 next year. Teams will have to switch from 2.4-litre V8 engines to a 1.6-litre V6 turbocharged unit, a move that will demand significant alterations in the design of cars and make predictions nearly impossible. Home-crowd favourite Felipe Massa, in his final race with Ferrari before joining Williams, finished a disappointing seventh after a drive-through penalty halfway through the race for crossing a pit line. Massa, who was fourth when he was penalized, will be replaced by world champion Kimi Raikkonen next year. Perez, being replaced by rookie Kevin Magnussen of Denmark next season, had a remarkable race in his farewell from McLaren. He had started 19th after a five-spot grid penalty for having to change a gear box following a crash in qualifying on Saturday. No McLaren driver had reached the podium or finished higher than fifth coming into the season finale. Australian Daniel Ricciardo, Webbers replacement in 2014, was 10th. Gyasi Zardes Jersey .

Then they spent the next 40 providing a reminder why they remain one of the most potent teams in the NHL. Evgeni Malkin picked up his first two-goal game in more than 18 months and added the game-winner in the shootout and Pittsburgh rallied by the stunned Maple Leafs 6-5 on Wednesday night. "That game was all over the place," Pittsburgh coach Dan Bylsma said. So was Bylsmas team, which fell behind 4-1 and 5-3 -- looking comical at times in the process -- before getting its act together in the third period. Malkin and James Neal both scored in the third to tie it up, with Malkin and Sidney Crosby beating Torontos Jonathan Bernier in the shootout as Pittsburgh narrowly avoided its third three-game losing streak of the season. "Give everyone credit for sticking with it, because that first 25 minutes is as ugly as it gets," Crosby said. Chris Conner and Kris Letang also scored for Pittsburgh while Crosby added two assists to lift his point total to a league-leading 33. Rookie Jeff Zatkoff stopped 11 of 13 shots after replacing ineffective starter Marc-Andre Fleury less than a minute into the second period. "Jeff came in and made the stops he needed to make and played heads up," Bylsma said. Having the third period off helped too. Toronto didnt record a single shot over the final 25 minutes of play and went 0 for 2 in the shootout. James van Riemsdyk scored twice and added an assist for the Maple Leafs. Phil Kessel, Tyler Bozak and Nazem Kadri also scored for Toronto, but the Maple Leafs lost their way after taking a big lead. "I thought we did some good things for parts of the game, but obviously against a team like that you give them an inch and theyre going to take it all," van Riemsdyk said. While the Maple Leafs fizzled, there were no problems for the Penguins, who peppered Bernier with a season-high 48 shots. The goaltender made 43 stops, but went just 1 for 3 in the shootout. The Penguins have won 12 straight games against goaltenders making their first career starts against Pittsburgh. Its a streak that appeared in jeopardy when Bozak put the Maple Leafs ahead 5-3 with 5 seconds left in the second period by tapping a lazy rebound by Zatkoff. Instead, it proved to be the last sign of offence from Toronto. Pittsburghs decimated defence, whichh lost star Paul Martin for 4 to 6 weeks earlier in the day with a fractured leg, clamped down and let Malkin, Crosby company go to work.dddddddddddd "We received the whole third period," Toronto coach Randy Carlyle said. "We didnt skate, we didnt forecheck, we didnt establish much." Neals sixth goal in his past five games pulled Pittsburgh within 5-4 at 3:46 of the third and Malkin tied it less than four minutes later when he stood in front of the crease and nudged a scrambling Bernier into the net then tucked the puck under the sprawled goaltender. "Slow start but we need to play whole 60 minutes," Malkin said. "Not a great game for us but two points, its fine." Toronto managed to extend the game through overtime, but was no match against Zatkoff in the shootout. Zatkoff stuffed Bozak and David Clarkson in the first two rounds, and after Crosby easily beat Bernier to give the Penguins the advantage, Malkin wrapped up the comeback by firing a wrist shot over the exhausted goaltenders right arm. Pittsburgh dominated for stretches early, but the Maple Leafs kept effectively counter punching. Van Riemsdyk and Kadri helped the Maple Leafs take an early 2-1 lead and things only got worse for Fleury early in the second. He failed to clear the puck behind the net, instead feeding it directly to van Riemsdyk, who pushed it across the goal to make it 3-1 just 13 seconds into the period. That was all for Fleury, stopped just eight of the 11 shots he faced. Zatkoff didnt exactly settle in quietly. Another Pittsburgh turnover allowed Bozak to set up a wide-open Kessel for a one-time that pushed Torontos lead to 4-1 just 29 seconds after Fleury skated to the bench. Pittsburgh drew within a goal as Malkin and Letang scored on consecutive power plays, but the hard work seemed to evaporate in the final moments of the second as Zatkoff failed to control a rebound on a van Riemsdyk slap shot and the puck just sat in the crease for Bozak to tap in with just 5 seconds remaining in one of the weirder 20 minutes of the season for both teams. It set the stage for what Bylsma called the best 25 minutes hes seen from his team in quite some time. NOTES: The Penguins went 3 for 5 on the power play. ... Malkins last multiple-goal game came on March 22, 2012, against Nashville. ... Toronto played without F Joffrey Lupul, who strained his groin in the second period of Mondays loss to the Blue Jackets. ... A crowd of 18,660 showed up the night before Thanksgiving to provide the Penguins with their 300th straight sellout.
