The Official Brazilian GP 2009 Thread***Spoilers***

[Project 644]

It looks like Brawn will definitely tie up the constructors championship in Brasil (only needing half a point to do so).
The title has opened up in that Vettel is in with more of a chance.

Will Button be able to finish 3rd or more to claim the championship (and deserve it )?

Will Barrichello be able to take it down to the wire in Abu Dhabi?

Will Vettel still be in the championship fight after Massa waves the chequered flag?

I am still undecided on food and drink, so any suggestions will be taken on board.

button for the win

I have a feeling that Brazil will be much better for the Brawns.

So Constructors will go to Brawn this race and Button will tie it up, just.

I hope!

Edit - I wan't Button to win but I would love hime to do it in Abu Dhabi as my passes came through last week

I would love Button to tie it up this weekend, but I think it will go to the last race, similar to Hamilton last year.

[Tyranosawus]

Call me cynical if you want, but I see some Bernie / FIA sttery coming which will push the fight to Abu Dhabi. After all we wouldn't want to upset the Arab contingent would we?

Should be a good race for sure, and for refreshments, I can recommend "Brahma" beer (at least thats what I think it is, its Brazilian and good tasting!) and perhaps for dinner get SWMBO to keep bringing cuts of steak until I hold up a red card, then proceed again when I hold the green one up?

Anyway I digress. I reckon:

1. Barrichello
2. Raikkonen
3. Vettel

[Wanta996Gotta]

Come on Jenson, you need to do it this weekend! We are all rooting for you.

Not sure how the Brawns,RedBulls or Mclarens will be at Brazil so roll on Friday testing!

[Marcia]

Would love Lewis to win of course,but with it being a hugely important race for Rubens i would like him to win his home race.

1.Barri
2.Lewis
3.Vettel

Anybody know why the BBC are showing different times to the Official F1 site?The beeb are have got FP1 down for 1pm and F1 site have got 2pm and so on.

Probably the BBC coverage starts at 1 and the actual quali at 2. In otherwords we will have to put up with Eddie and Dave wittering on for an hour.

Mine are from the press agency. I don't believe the page has been updated since the start of the year.

One of the times was wrong for a FP session in either Japan or Singapore when I copy and Pasted it here.

Is the red button showing classic Brasilian GPs yet?

[mchammer89]

Come on Barry!!!

[schmalex]

From a personal point of view, I rather hope that Button doesn't wrap it up this weekend, as I am off to Dubai in 2 weeks to watch the Abu Dhabi GP with my Brother in Law

Stick a bit of lime in the Brahma. It's good.

Food wise, the Brazilians love anything with sugar in it!

If you want to be authentic the food should be from the Southern region with Churrasco being a rather nice BBQ varient

With Skol, Brahama & Kaiser being available in most supermakets
