Hulkenberg and Button have indeed taken the opportunity to pit for the hard Pirellis that should see them to the finish.
25/71
No matter where Alonso finishes, fourth is good enough for Vettel. Safety car still out.

And Nico Hulkenberg leads the Brazilian Grand Prix after taking Jenson Button! Lewis Hamilton in for new rubber. Alonso in too.
18/71
Really interesting now. Hulkenberg right on Button’s tail and Vettel is behind Alonso. Fantastic racing in this final grand prix of the season. Just what we wanted.
17/71
The drive of the day though is surely from Sauber bound Nico Hulkenberg. He challenges Button for the lead but Button defends.
16/71
Vettel takes Kobayashi for fifth. This is a great drive from the Red Bull star.
15/71
So on lap 15 the standings are: Button, Hulkenberg, Hamilton, Massa, Vergne. Hamilton is saying his tyres are going off. Vettel up to eighth so looking good.
14/71
A lot of cars have still not pitted and the track is very slippery. You would think Button and Hulkenberg must pit soon.
13/71
Hulkenberg is also choosing to stay out. So Button leads from Hulkenberg and Hamilton. Massa is fourth from Alonso. Vettel is tenth. As it stands, Alonso would be champion by two points!
