The Official Brazilian GP Thread 2012***SPOILERS***

[Life Saab Itch]

Here we go, the finale of the season.

Vettel has a decent lead, but Ferrari go well at this track.

Expect Alonso to be fighting with the Red Bulls, Massa to be in there trying to spoil someone's race and the McLarens not to be the fastest car.

The WCC is done and dusted really, so all eyes on the WDC.


Lewis' last race for McLaren. Schumacher's last race...again. Sergio's farewell to Sauber. Last race for Jake.


Oh, the weather's meant to be poor to awful.


It should be a cracker

[DanielSan]

Even for you this is a keen start to a thread

[Life Saab Itch]

Next weekend, no?

[Life Saab Itch]

Anyway.

Vettel to go out with a mechanical issue and Ferrari to have a 1-2. Massa first, then Alonso...

till the last lap, and then Massa will get bummed again, all for the team of course

Sadly, potentially last races for Kamui and Bruno as well

And HRT.

Kamui only 8 points behind Perez yet one goes to Mclaren and one may not have a drive. Doesn't make sense to me to be honest. Bruno wouldn't surprise me if he ends up at Force India.

HRT won't be missed IMO, they bring nothing in the way of personality or character to the grid.

That would be a nice thank you to massa, or alternatively Alonso moving over to take p2 and giving massa the win. But don't see it happening even if Vettel is out of the points.

This is always the way with drivers. One has all the luck/funding/right contacts, the other none. Ability often has little to do with it. I agree with HRT. Why didnt they choose Prodrive/one of the ogthers over HRT???

[DanielSan]

You do have to wonder. The problem is they're not even an attractive proposition to buy, the factory is in the wrong country, I can't see their facilities being upto date enough to be able to produce a competitive car without huge updates. The only attractive thing to buy is their entry.

[vonuber]

I think it will come down to a DNF.

[Airbag]

Hi all, long time no etc...

Great race in Austin. I hope Interlagos lives up to the rest of the season, and yet again to title will be decided on the final day. Lewis to play spoiler and help Fred deny Fingers? hmmm...

Prodrive only wanted to enter on the basis they would be allowed to use customer cars.

[RockDoctor]

Massa tends to be quite strong here so I expect him to be helping Alonso up near the front.

I'm happy it went down to the last race though, very much looking forward to it.

Massa to spoil Sebs quali runs?

now that would really throw the cat among the pigeons

[andyjo1982]

I've got a feeling Alonso is gonna win the race. He's been there or thereabouts every race, I think he's certainly been the best driver and racer.

However, I cant help feel that Vettel will be good enough to secure the top 4 finish he needs.

I love Brazil GP, great track and usually provides a good race. If the heavens open on race day it could be mayhem.

[Mark A S]

I have a feeling that Brazil will see an epic duel between the Mclaren boys for the win, Alonso to be WDC on the last lap

[anonymous-user]

If its wet then id say Alonso will probably win, Ferraris car seemed to be the best in the wet earlier in the season, although from memory i don't think Red Bull were that far away.

[woof]

Still early but the forecast is looking very stormy
