Last race of the season.

Last race of the V8s

Last race for Webber.


Will Grandpa Dietrich tell Uncle Helmutt to let Webber get one last win?

Will Grosjean get a win?

Will Vettel equal Alberto Ascari's record of 9 consecutive wins?



Anyway, I'm hoping for a Webber win, a Grosjean pole position and a Bottas podium.

It doesn't matter whether Helmut "let" Webber win. Webber has to take the win.

That said, it would be nice for Webber to have one last hurrah. smile

Brazil is one of the more unpredictable tracks, so anything could happen. Hoping for some inclement weather, myself. tongue out

You want it rained off? You should hope for showers. Wet dry wet dry race to shake things up. Got a horrible feeling Vettel will be further ahead the trickier the conditions get though!

2. Hamilton
3. Grosjean
4. Alonso

All dry practice, Rain in Q1, Dry Q2, Heavy Rain Q3, Bottas on pole, massive CF at the start in the midfield leaves the lucky, brave and back markers running, Webber finally extracts his revenge and punts fingers into the barriers crippling his KERS leading to a long fightback to 10th place, Caterham and Marussia fight it out for 1st, 2nd and 3rd, Hamilton 4th (again), FIA reveal RedBull have been using an illegal traction control after seeing Seb's crashed car and Alonso wins championship, Kimi collects lifetime supply of Magnums after ill-thought out drunken result based bet in the '12-'13 off-season... and EJ is shot at a Brazilian nightclub with a strict offensive Shirt policy.

I have a feeling that Maaark's luck will run out, as it has done many times this season, and he'll finish his career with a DNF.
I reckon Webber will have a great race, only to retire from the lead with gearbox failure 2 laps from the end.

Brazil is normally a good race.

Webber to leave with three wheels at his 2nd stop.

Will Mclaren get a podium? It's been a bloody awful year for them.
I'd love to see Perez get a podium, just to see the look on Whitmarsh's face that his golden boy is getting out performed by the driver he's getting shot of and the one he's made a scapegoat out of.

Apart from that I can't see anyone beating Vettel unless the weather is very unpredictable.

Vettel to scrape pole from Webber, and then somehow be 2 secs a lap quicker in the race with full tanks.

Grosjean to do well.

Horner to be a twunt

Vettel will be driven to get 9 consecutive wins, so I can't imagine him giving favours

I'm not sure if Mark would want to be gifted a win, even if it was Sepang payback.

However, it would be nice if Vettel started from the pitlane for fun. The trouble is, he'd probably still beat Webber...

A home podium sign off for Massa and Ferrari would be nice though

When I am elected it will be on the back of my sponsorship by Homebase, they have 10,000 garden sprinklers on backorder for delivery to all F1 events to be turned on and off at the whim of the watching crowd who will use text voting in an XFactor style to add a further element of chance.

I hope not, but I remember how Coulthard's last race went, in a Red Bull, at Interlagos.........

You can take that prediction to the bank.

Comedy option: 2 tombolas are rolled to pick drivers and cars for the final race.

Wouldn't be surprised with another "Britney's in the wall" moment from Webber.
