Kimi kept his foot in last time out. Can he do it again?

    If it rains i'll definitely put my money on Alonso or Hamilton (If the McLaren is not as bad in the rain as earlier on in the year), or even a possible goodbye win for the old rainmeister Schumi?

    In any important wet session this year, Alonso has always been on top. I really hope it's wet in both races left! Only Malaysia has been wet so far.

    Speaking of wet races.. what's the record of least amount in a year?

    Correct if I am wrong but possibly 1999?, from what I remember we only had the mixed conditions at the Nürburgring even Silverstone and Spa were dry that year

    I'll rephrase myself then! By "wet races" I mean where it rains and the drivers have to change tyres to Inters or wets, even if it was mixed conditions. (This doesnt include Vergne at Monaco this year!)

    Would laugh so hard if Brazil is canceled and Seb won by default because of the heavy rain making it unsafe to race.

    I highly doubt they would let that happen if it is a championship decider got to remember F1 has a global audience of around 350 million people which would increase in the event of a title clincher and even though Bernie treats Seb like the son he never had I doubt he would let them just cancel the race weekend.

    Although I do fear that F1 is going down a slippery slope when it comes to wet races, it really pisses me off that now whenever they have to go onto Wets all the drivers go on the radio to get the race red flagged. It's also a relatively recent phenomenon as well considering they raced at Fuji in 07 for 50 laps in awful conditions and the drivers just got on with it, Lewis made a good point not long ago questioning if races like Spa 98 would have happened had the current protocol been enforced back then.

    Very likely since Austin looks like RB territory.

    As long it isn't Alonso I don't care who is in front of Seb winning the race <ok> I'll gladly take 2 x 2nd's if Lewis/Jenson/Kimi was to win them both.

    I think the chance of rain in the USA is diminishing, but rain in Qualifying in Brazil.... YES.
