Should be a good finish to the season, if DRS doesn't ruin it like it did to Spa. Some facts: Red Bull have won the last two races here, while Button, Hamilton and Alonso have never won the Brazilian Grand Prix. Vettel has never taken pole position at this track. The 5 correct predictions from Abu Dhabi came from: BrightLampShade El_Bando SamLovesLeeds Schneiderlin is the goal king SilverArrow Updated league table:
my prediction? - Eddie Jordan will say 'Brazilians love their football- they'll win something one day'.
Come on Nando, show these ****ers how it's done! Alternatively, Massa should do well here, he often does.
I hope it is a wet race. About time we had another one. Saying that the qualifying here for last 2 years has been wet. If it is wet I will say Button but I have a feeling Alonso will win this one.
McLaren always struggle here, Ferrari have gone very well in the past so Alonso has a good chance to take it to the Red Bull's. May have a sneaky £1 on him for the race.
Was going to vote Vettel but he let me down in Abu Dhabi. McLaren won't win unless it's wet, and under normal conditions Vettel should win this easily. I have huge concerns about DRS. If it's on the pit straight, we'll see overtaking like we saw in Spa. If the DRS zone is on the exit of turn 3, anyone doing an overtake on the pit straight will be re-passed in the DRS zone. So, DRS should be banned for this race.
Vettel all the way, he will be more focused - Qualifying in Abu Dhabi was perfection, he needs/can repeat that again.
What is it that stops McLaren doing well at Interlagos? Suspension?? Stiff?? Because for sure not Aero Levels because they are just a tenth or two behind Red Bull? Maybe a techie can explain.
Yeah the pattern of this season has seemed to be that Red Bull have done better on Mclaren tracks than people thought they would (Spa, Monza), while Mclaren have done better of Red Bull tracks than what people were expecting (Barcelona, Monaco, Hungary, Suzuka). So it would not surprise me if Mclaren were fast around Interlagos simply because they should not be.
Would love a Massa podium, let alone a win, but i'm going Vettel. Poor race last time (hardly his fault) so he'll bounce back strongly.
At the moment, I think it most likely (just) that Vettel will take another victory here; the Sao Paolo circuit appearing to suit the Red Bull cars very well. Having said that, McLaren's continued development sees them closing the gap (albeit far too late), so I would not discount either of their drivers putting up a real fight. And of course we should never discount Alonso in an improving Ferrari… These are the top four drivers in the world at the moment, and I am very confident that Brazil's winner is amongst them.
I am going to predict jenson for this race. He won his wdc crown here so will enjoy the circuit that much more, plus he will want to score against Lewis for the start of next year. The spoiler will be Seb who is on form in a good car.

The drivers will act like pussies - hold back, be patient and make an easy pass in the DRS zone. Anyone stupid enough to try a brave overtake into turn 1 will get mugged in the DRS zone. Well done FIA!
