Brazilian GP 2007 - spoilers
Discussion
Interlagos is a technically demanding driver's circuit. Stuff here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brazilian_Grand_Prix
It was notoriously bumpy but has just been resurfaced. This will favour Ferrari as their suspension doesn't work on bumps as well as the McLaren's. So presumably it was the FIA who did the resurfacing.
The weather forecasts are all over the place. This is the norm in Sao Paulo. You cannot believe what the weather will be till the race starts. But there is a reasonable chance of a wet race.
Tyres will probably be softs and super softs if it is dry. This will favour Kimi who seems to be able to make them last longer. Hamilton gets through rears very quickly when he is pushed so it is not such good news for him.
Kimi also has the advantage of a team mate who will be helping him.
My Prediction
1) Kimi
2) Massa
3) Vettel
Hamilton DNF
Alonso DNF

10% of rain is not IMO a reasonable chance. In other words there's a 90% chance it WON'T rain.!!!!!
so why aren't the quote thingymebobs working......

In 2003 they were forecasting a dry race right up till saturday night, and you know what happened then. So like I said, only believe the weather when you see the start of the race.

i'm a huge fan and would love to see it but vettel isn't gonna be on the podium. nor will the mclaren boys be stupid enough to hand the championship to kimi.
hamilton will play it safe and head for a comfy podium i reckon, kimi winning the race and nando second. massa 4th, then one or both of the beemers, assuming they both make it.
