    You do know the person who gets voted the most is in the end cursed on here right? I have only seen about 2 or 3 drivers voted the most in these polls and went on to win that race.

    Cheers guys <ok>

    According to 'The Brazilian Space Institute' (they have one?) 90% chance of a storm on Saturday afternoon, 80% chance heavy rain on Sunday.

    Come on.... none of us want to see that happen. There wouldn't be a ton of glory in winning that way. :(

    Hmm.. Friday, FP1 and 2 will be dry, but with the forecast expected to be wet, do the teams ignore the dry running setup and load up a wet weather configuration?

    They will probably focus more on qualifying than race pace on Friday and the new Pirelli tyres for next year. Webber and Massa will probably just test more upgrades while Seb and Alonso just go out and test out qualifying trim with an expendable engine to just get ready for the final and a small amount of race pace if by some miracle Sunday dries up at some point.

    Apparently there is not much of a difference between setups these days at least that is what some of the Sky guys said when it rained earlier on in the season. The more important aspect now is tyres, look at McLaren earlier on in the season two drivers renowned for their skills in wet weather and yet because the car took ages to get the tyres up to temp they were nowhere.

    Reckon it will be a similar case this weekend if it rains.

    Here's my bold prediction. Vettel & Alonso will tread carefully with some PR and nothing statements, Hamilton & Schumacher will make nice comments about leaving their teams/the sport, Massa will get annoyed by questions about his gearbox and Senna will get annoyed with questions about his seat. We will all get deja vu.

    Oh and I expect Webber to be pushing the limit on these new alternators to see if they can be trusted.
