Mark webber wons Brazilian GP

Mark Webber led a Red Bull 1-2 in the Brazilian Grand Prix on Sunday to celebrate his first victory of the year in the last race of the Formula One season.

The Australian, second on the starting grid, passed World champion Sebastian Vettel for the lead after 30 of the 71 laps when his teammate was apparently wrestling with a gearbox problem.

German Vettel, who wrapped up his second title last month with four races to spare, finished second — 16.9 seconds behind — and ahead of McLaren's Jenson Button.

Force India shines

Massa, twice a winner of his home race, eventually finished fifth ahead of Germany's Adrian Sutil for Force India. Sutil's teammate, Briton Paul di Resta, took the eighth spot.

Motorola shareholders approve Google takeover bid

Shareholders of Motorola Mobility Holdings Inc late Thursday approved a 12.5-billion-dollar takeover offer from Google Inc, gaining the internet giant a stronger foothold in the handset sector, and expanding its patent portfolio.

Motorola said shareholders voted with an “overwhelming majority” in favour of the deal, which put a premium of more than 60 per cent on the company relative to its trading value when the offer was made in August.

The deal remained subject to approval by the U.S. competition watchdog, which filed a second request for information on the planned takeover with Google in September.

Google already has some market influence in the mobile sector with its Android operating system for smartphones and tablet computers.

Motorola said it expected the acquisition to be completed in early 2012.
