Brazil GP 2012 - Race Day Thread

And so it comes down to this. The final race of the season. Alonso v Vettel. One shall stand, one shall fall.

The mathematics of who needs to finish where has been calculated and has it's own separate thread. However, for a quick reference, Vettel will win the title, regardless if:

  • He finishes in the top 4 OR...
  • Alonso doesn't finish on the podium OR...
  • Half points are awarded (something which may come up if it rains)

I'm looking forward to a great race!

Greetings all <wave>

I've been looking at various weather sites for the last hour or so. Could make this GP very interesting.

I haven't switched the TV on yet, but looking at the BBC text commentary on their page, they reckon it's going to be dry.

Wouldn't it be great if we had a repeat of the 2008 Brazilian GP?

I am seeing different reports from different places, we should just look for a local live webcam and see if the cows are lying down or not

So, who will not be removing their helmet at the end of the race, Lewis because he is moving to Mercedes and regrets his move . . . . er I mean will miss his old team, or Vettel because Alonso won the race and he couldn't manage better than 5th?

On Sky, they show these McLaren "Tooned" cartoons during the ad breaks in the buildup.

The one they just showed had a Doctor Who-esque regeneration scene from Lewis to Perez.

Did he hand his sonic screw driver pen over to Perez so that he could continue writing his twitters?

Interesting fact from the bbc stream
McLaren on Twitter: "After Austin, Lewis Hamilton has won more GPs for McLaren (21) than anyone bar Ayrton Senna (35) & Alain Prost (30). Can he make it 22?"
