Current Standings




Hulkenberg's pole lap from 2010



Looking back at Alonso

[Adam]

I hope it's a nice and exciting race. Although I'd like they banned DRS for this track...

Expecting Ferrari to fight for the podium, Massa to not be terrible and Hamilton to keep on the good form from the last race. It's going to be interesting who gets the second spot in the championship. I know they don't win anything for that but who cares, I'm just an expectator seeking for excitement.

I hope they start will be great just like in 2009

[frubbs]

Hamilton is never lucky in Interlagos.

Year - Qualy/Race
2010- 4 / 4
2009- 18 / 3
*2008- 4 / 5
2007- 2 / 7

Lets see what he can do in his most unlucky year...


*2008 - ok, very lucky to be champion with 1 point ahead, but still a poor performance looking to the race itself

[donald29]

Strong chance of rain again over the weekend? Time of year, wet qualifying the last two years.

Hopefully we'll get a wet race and Schumi podium!

Hulkenberg's pole lap from 2010

It is sad to see the last year´s Pole car in this situation. I hope the return of the Renault to William bring back the old days...

Hopefully we'll get a wet race and Schumi podium!

THAT would be nice !!

Weather in SP is notoriously erratic, but at the moment it says Scattered Showers

[f1freak]

It will be an interesting race for the Top teams Ferrari/RBR & McLaren. If the weather changes its course during the days & turns to be a wet GP then Schumi can certainly put up some surprises.Engine performance will be crucial as the track is on a high altitude & most of the teams will be using the 8th engine of the season already used over the course of the year.

Pirelli tyre choices are Soft and Medium

Pirelli has learned a lot through the season,now tyre degradation is so much lower than first races

This is a shame, as I liked the unpredictability that the high tyre degradation provided.

The trophy !

[NewF1Boy]

It's samba time.

Pace, Piquet, Senna, Fittipaldi and Massa - the 5 Brazilian Grand Prix winners - have all won in Brazil except Barrichelo.

I´m sure Barrichello´s victory in Brazil is comming. This weekend!
I can feel it !!
