The Official Brazilian GP Thread 2011***SPOILERS***
Discussion
I know it's early, but it's the Brazilian GP.
I can't remember a dull race there. A superb track with good, natural overtaking opportunities.
Having said that, I am expecting two DRS zones; one on the start finish straight and one on the straight after the Senna esses. This should be better than the farce at Abu Dhabi as the esses are actually a set of corners rather than a chicane drawn with a set square and a set length measuring device.
I'll go for a Webber win if dry and a Button win if wet.

Will be interesting to see if JB can hold off the fast-finishing (season-wise) FA to maintain 2nd in the championship.
Looking forward to an "old" track after a few new ones.
He just has to finish ahead, or one place behind him iirc.Looking forward to an "old" track after a few new ones.
It's definitely a proper track.
I expect the Torro Rossos to be in the top ten here. Maybe even playing with Britney and the Old Man.
I predict Seb to win closely followed by Jenson who's spent most of the race hounding him. Alonso or Webber to come third. Hamilton will finish off the podium after a drive through penalty due to a little punt at Massa sometime around the first round of pitstops. Replays will show that Massa was at fault (despite initial thoughts that Hamilton was being well, LH) but as his car was damaged and he had to retire there's little that can be done. Hamilton / McLaren will ask race control why he was penalised when Massa was clearly at fault. A bun fight will ensue on PH.
Schumacher will try to prove a point to the young upstart in his team but miss Rubens breezing past.
1 safety car following an early race pile up with a couple of lower order teams trying to secure a seat for next year.

i think it could be a good final race - am really glad it's not being held on a tilke track.
i reckon lewis will be really keen to maintain his current happy form, vettel will want to come back with a win, jenson is always there or thereabouts, alonso not far behind.
and whilst he hasn't done much for a little while now, i do echo DC's sentiments - I would hope that if this is rubens last race after 19 years, he is celebrated at his home race. it would be a real shame if sometime over the winter he failed to get a drive and that would quietly be the end of his career.

vettel pole
vettel win
Wow! You're really going out on limb there with that prediction.... vettel win
Roll on. Having a race so late in the year makes the winter here in the UK just a tad shorter for me. Amen to that.
Last race of the season and it's all half a pie in the SKY next year ...
