Fernando Alonso is likely to be praying for rain at Interlagos, having qualified eighth while carrying more downforce than his rivals. When Sunday’s race begins, team-mate Felipe Massa will be two places ahead but just one slot behind Sebastian Vettel.

“I feel good about it,” Alonso told reporters. “It was just as we expected. We’ll try to achieve the podium, just as I did in Abu Dhabi and in Austin.”

When asked if he is pinning his hopes on wet weather, the Spaniard replied:

“Let’s hope we see something like that. It’s difficult to change car setups now; the only thing we can change from here are minimal things, nothing major.”


Well I will be having a rain dance, but I really think Vettel has it in the bag, I bet its sunshine all race and a tropical storm an hour later

Rain scenario that suits Vettel, just like the Monaco race where he was undoubteldy going to blow out his tyres and gift the race to Alonso or Button and the race was stopped giving him the chance to change his tyres.

The race is started under SC due to heavy rain that continues for so long that they decide to black flag the race (ie postpone it until until either the rain subsides or the drivers can change to wet setups)

One piece of vital information to note.

Should it rain too much that the race is stopped and half points are awarded, Vettel wins the title, no matter what.
