北京时间9月26日，F1方程式赛车巴西站比赛正式结束。雷诺车队的西班牙车手阿隆索第三个冲过终点提前两站获得今年F1车手总冠军，并以24岁年龄成为F1历史上最年轻的世界冠军。请看报道：

Fernando Alonso must now find something else to aim for in Formula One. The 24-year-old Spaniard became the series' youngest champion by finishing third in the Brazilian Grand Prix on Sunday, having already been the youngest race winner and pole position winner.

Alonso needed only a top-three finish in a race won by Juan Pablo Montoya of McLaren-Mercedes. Kimi Raikkonen, Montoya's teammate and the only other driver in contention1 for the championship, finished second on the 2.6-mile Interlagos circuit.

文中pole position指的是是方程式赛车中"竿位"，即决赛中排在第一位出发的选手。"竿位"由决赛前排位赛中成绩最好的车手获得。此外，pole position 还可表示"跑道内圈"，"有利位置"。如：The German company retained a pole position in hormone2 research.（这家德国公司在激素研究方面保持着有利地位。）
